TSG 204 ~ Sketch Challenge

Happy Saturday!  I managed to find a little time yesterday to stamp and decided to play along with this week’s There She Goes sketch challenge.  I haven’t played along with any challenges for such a long time, I figured a sketch would be perfect.

I love this Scent-sational set from TSG, it is so cute and I love all the sentiments that go with it.  I ended up rotating the sketch to work with the image and size of the sentiment.  Once I stamped the cute critter I colored him up with Copic markers and finished him off with a little dab of glossy accents on his nose.

Paper: Pink Lemonade (Lawn Fawn), Bazzill Card Shoppe  Stamps: Scent-sational (There She Goes Clear Stamps)  Ink: A Muse Black Dye  Accessories: Copic markers, Nail heads, Yellow silk ribbon, Glossy Accents.

I am going to a local crop for a few hours today, I sounds like it will be a wonderful day and I might just get some more done!  Have a great weekend!

YNS Fun Friday!

Hello again friends!  This week’s Fun Friday Challenge at Your Next Stamp is Spring!  So anything spring, flowers, colors anything that screams spring will work!

I have used the brand new Fun with Borders set and made my own patterned paper for this bright sunny spring card!

Paper: Bazzill Card Shoppe, Copic X-Press It  Stamps: Fun with Borders & Scene Sentiments (Your Next Stamp)  Ink: A Muse Black Dye  Accessories: Copic markers, Prima flower, Button, Pearls, Ivory Jute, Ribbon.

It is my Saturday today, I have a little running around to do today and then I plan on stamping up a storm.  I hope you all have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
