Sketch Saturday

LIM..........A Sketch!!

I'm back from holiday - sadly. I didn't get home until 2-00 am and couln't sleep as I had 'gone' past it and am still tired and trying to get myself back together!! 

Non the less today was my mail priority - making my LIM challenge. I love the sketch challenge this week and put it together fairly easily. I used the Simon Says Stitched Rectangles and placed some ancient vellum beneath to upper one and an equally ancient wooden Birthday stamp.  To finish it off and cut out one flower of the vellum and attached it over the stitched rectangle and added a Prima Marketing Ocean - Says it in Crystals.

LIM......Stencilling !!

I have rushed an final LIM stencil challenge on my way to the airport on my way home -boo-hoo!!!  Not by best card by any stretch if the imagination!!

The stencil is Broken Lights from Simon Says Stamps as is the Sentiment  Always and 

Forever stamp.

The Inks are from Hero Arts Shadow Inks along with  Tsukeniko Daubers.
