Hello everyone! I'm Back with a brand new Weekend Sketch Challenge for you today. The rules are easy -- use this sketch as inspiration for your project and then come back to this post and link your photo with the Mister Linky Widget below! You have until noon next Wednesday, March 31st, to submit your project. This week, in celebration of being back and posting once again, I'm offering some very special Blog Candy!!!! One lucky participant will receive a Tart & Tangy card kit which includes everything you need to make 8 fun summer cards -- even the stamp set! So, be sure and play along and invite your friends as well -- the more, the merrier!
Here's my example for today (I'll have more for you throughout the weekend). I used the new Awash with Flowers stamp set (available as a special preview item beginning April 1st -- click HERE for details). I used Versamark Ink and Clear Embossing powder to stamp the solid images, heat set them, and then sponged on the Bold Bright Inks -- Pink Passion, Green Galore and Lovely Lilac -- for a fun and summery look! A bit of Tempting Turquoise Grosgrain ribbon and some texture added with the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder finish off the card. The sentiment is from the Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Whimsical Words (just one week left to receive this stamp set for FREE).
Okay, now it's your turn! Let me see your stuff this week and you may win that great prize package! Just leave your name and picture location with Mister Linky Below!
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll come back again soon!
such a nice inspirational spring card; glad to see you back & hope your time off was what you wanted!

I hadn't thought about using that technique with the new stamp set, it is perfect for it though! Your card is beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration.

I've been following your blog for a month now and finally had the courage to try my hand at the challenge. It came together easier than I thought. Thanks for all the great ideas.
