It's Not A Quirky Sketch, it's Two!

Evening everyone! Hope you've had a fabulous weekend.
It's that Quirky Time again. The challenge should've started over on Quirky Craft's Challenge Blog, that's if I've pressed the right button, because it's my turn to set the challenge this time. And, yes, you guessed, it's....
a sketch!
(No surprise there then!) I always do a sketch, but this time, I've given you a choice. We have Two Sketches! (Wooo weee!) You can use either one or both of them if you wish, we don't mind, the more the merrier!
This time round we're kindly being sponsored by...

The Cutting Cafe


The cutting cafe blinkie

I've made three cards in all, using some of their digi downloads. Out of the three, this one is my favourite. The other cards are on the challenge blog and I'll post them here later.
I've used a black blank card, which is just under 6"x6" and covered it first with Dovecraft silver miri board and Dovecraft backing paper, which I found out, (after using them to do a bit of paper piecing) you can print your digi's straight onto them, throw on some clear embossing power and heat set it and it looks as though you've stamped it! The paper feels quite 'waxy' so maybe that's a clue.
I've used 'It's about the Time, Clocks' set from The Cutting Cafe and used my Nesties and Woodward punches to die cut and punch out the clocks.
I've used the top sketch, for this card just in case you hadn't noticed! So, there you go. We won't mind if you want to add a few more bits and bobs. I've added flowers and leaves to one of my other cards, which I'll show you later or of course, you can pop over to Quirky Craft's and join in now!

It's Not All Quirky Black & White...

It's Cazzy's turn to set the Challenge this time, and no, it's not all black and white over on Quirky Craft's Challenge Blog this time round, it's...
black, white and one other accent colour...
plus
use one or more punches!!
(oho, take that! ouch!)
Here's my DT card. I've left off the sentiment so I can change it into whatever whenever, but most likely a birthday card.
I used DoveCraft Papers, Stickles Glitter, and stuff from my stash, The Glittered black butterfly was fixed to acetate first and then adhered to the card with silicone glue.
As you can see by the picture, I've gone a bit mad with the magenta. This I added by colouring some white card with my oldest and favourite colour Promaker pen, (maybe I should have used the paler pink?) then used my Martha Stewart lace punch. I also touched up the pink that was already on the papers. Plus a few flowers I made using Woodware punches, they have velum centres (covered with Stickles) That's about all I can add to this card, I think!
Pop over to see who you picked as overall winner via the voting! (that doesn't mean they've won an overall!) We on the team decided to choose a winner too, just for its real 'Quirkiness' !!
Now, here's a challenge for you! How many different punches do you think I used in the end???
Answers on a postcard please...no, honest...have a guess... email me on dragonsmoore at goolemail dot com or leave a comment. I did have a few challenges for this card but, sawdust brain here has left her little note book at home, so I'll add them later! Now it's time to walk those darn doggies again!! Thank you for stopping by...
