Sketch Saturday #168 Sponsored by Simon Says Stamp

Happy Saturday peoples!!!
Hope you are all well?? 

I had an unplanned lie in this morning! seriously... I didnt crawl out of bed until 9:45!! thats SO not like me! 
still, I did go to bed with the headache of the century, so maybe that had something to do with it!

And I know you are wondering, cos you're that sort of bunch... yes I STILL have said headache... ouch!
anyway, I'm behind with everything this morning, so I'd better get on with it!

Jo has designed another fabulous sketch for us over at Sketch Saturday...  
LOVED it Jo...thanks!!

And here's what I did with it...

Meet Steampunk Lilith from Tickled Pink stamps!
God, I LOVE her!!...
Have you ever bought a stamp because you can't NOT buy it, and then can't for the life of you think how you'll use it!!
this was THAT stamp! I knew I HAD to have her, cos she's just so GORGEOUS!! I love her 'don't mess with me' attitude...it took me a while to think up a way of using her though!
Anyway...my brain must have been working overtime yesterday, cos this just sort of came to me in a lightbulb moment! 
(okay, I think we have just explained the headache!)


Bit different for me again this one... 
I've coloured Lilith with my promarkers...
I had to colour her hair red... cos I secretly want to be her!!
The OH SO YUMMY papers are Prima - Moulin Rouge...
I have to say, I wasn't sure about these papers before I got them... they are SO well priced for the amount you get, so I figured they probably wouldn't be any good... BUT I am SO glad I tried them... they are really good quality, and such gorgeous designs.....
I think I might have to get more!! I got them from Quixotic Paperie
I made the Yo-yo flower using some old trouser fabric, and added an old button from my old clothes stash!
The metal charms are actually suns, but I think they look like cogs!  
got them off ebay...
I created the border at the top using a stempelglede grunge scroll stamp  and just roughly cut around the swirls on one side...
to finish I just added a sentiment, and some enamel accents!!... (can you tell I love these at the moment??)

Thats about it...

we are sponsored over at Sketch Saturday by Simon Says Stamp... 
and theres a fab $25 voucher up for grabs...


Thanks for visiting today!! have a wonderful weekend!
