Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 183


It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use the InLinkz button down at the very end of this post to enter your card. The links will close in two weeks, next Friday at 10 PM (Mountain Time). Be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which features your card. You may post a picture of the sketch on your blog, but please save the image to your computer first. Use the keyword SSSC183 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

WANT TO BE A GUEST Sweet Sunday Stamper?  I'll be picking my favorite card or project after each challenge and that winner will have a special guest spot as a designer on a future Sweet Sunday Challenge.  I'm SO excited about this!  You can enter as many different cards as you'd like before the following Friday deadline, so get stampy!

I will be announcing the next Guest Sweet Sunday Stamper later this week, so be sure to check back to see if you will be joining the design team for SSSC184!

It is birthday central here on the Sweet Sunday team - Vicki, Sarah-Jane, and I all share the same birthday (the 24th), so I'm celebrating with this cute little PI Birthday Girl stamp set.  Happy Birthday, girls!!



I started by stamping her in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on some Kraft Card Stock and then colored her with Copic Markers.  I've never colored a people with Copics on kraft before and I love it!  Who knew?  Probably everyone - I'm a late bloomer, what can I say?  For the scallops I used the new Open Simply Scallops Trio Die-namics (this is the smallest of the set), and then used a Fishtail Flags Layers Die-namics for the banner.  The patterned paper is Harvest Lane 6x6 from Simple Stories.

I did my usual sentiment stamping on the inside of the card with a sentiment from the set and also added some zigzag stitches.  Love those.


There is lots of inspiration for you with this sketch - be sure to check out the fabulous projects from the Sweet Sunday Stampers!
