Here are this weeks DT tips and sketch creations!

Leanne - Used Karens Doodles Sketch

Tip - Use your heat gun to seal the end of ribbon to stop it fraying on your card.

Heike

Tip - To remove glitter that has become stuck to your rubber stamps, use a piece of cellophane tape.

Maggie

Tip - When using Distress inks and cut & dry foam build up colour gradually to avoid heavy splotches.

Moriah

Tip- When making a card from a sketch, don't be afraid to "interpret" the sketch. Instead of a matted square and rectangle, I went with a matted rectangle and a matted banner. It still follows the general sketch format and fits the image/sentiment.

Lisa

Tip - When using a sketch as your inspiration, anything is possible, as long as all the required elements are present; no matter where you place them.

Bettina

used Karen's doodles sketch and Dragon Valentine
Tip: Whenever making card for your loved one, you can make use of decorated needles and/or charms.

Tammy Louise

Tip -Try to stick to no more than three major colors

If the main image is less than 1/2 the size of the card, it can compliment it with a sentiment nearly the same size

Carol

Robyn Fetish Sketch Image - Friends Forever

Tip - When using a sketch, if part of your card looks 'empty' add some of those 1000's of Peel-off Borders you have and you'll be amazed how they can 'fill' the space without taking away from the sketch.

Samantha

Tip - When trimming a strip of border punched paper, you can save the straight remnant piece to glue behind your mat layer for extra depth. Enlarge my card to see what I mean...

Elaine

Tip - Enhance design papers by adding glitter glue to areas to add sparkle and highlights.

Annette

Tip - Create little wire spirals using the stalks of your flowers, by wrapping them around a dry embossing tool, and then gently stretching them once removed.
