sweet sunday sketch challenge #27


Good morning - It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use Mr. Linky down at the end of my post to enter your card. On Thursday at 10 PM (Mountain Time), I'll randomly select one card to feature on my blog. So, as long as your card is linked in the Mr. Linky box by 10 PM Thursday, your card will be in the drawing. 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 SSSC27 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

I have been in the worst slump - no motivation to stamp, just a case of the blahs... BUT - I got some new paper, a new punch, new ribbon, new die cut and hey, my mojo is returning and not a moment too late! I ordered the new butterfly punch from the new catty, along with the little leaves die cut and just had to use them first thing. I really like how the leaves are kind of muted in the background and really let the butterfly pop. It feels SO good to stamp again and be happy with what comes of it. Whew!

Now it's your turn - have fun!
Karen

stamps: trendy trees
