Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 68


Good morning - 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 on Friday at 10 PM (Mountain Time), and I'll randomly select one card to feature on my blog on Saturday. So, as long as your card is linked by 10 PM Friday, 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 SSSC68 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

I've been playing with TE's new sets, Garden Party Critters and Garden Party Blooms all week and I just had to make one more card for today's sketch.  I repeatedly stamped the 3 little flowers in Certainly Celery ink and then added buttons for the blooms - love that look!  I popped up the little butterfly and added some pearls for the body and then added the little sun to balance the images.  All the paper and ribbon is from this months Garden Party Pantry Kit.

In celebration of Mother's Day, I just had to post this hilarious little video.  I'll take anything that makes me feel better about driving around in a big blue minivan (aka the Blueberry, but calling it the Blueberry definitely takes the swagger out of that big ol' wagon)...



Don't forget about The Sweet Sunday Stampers - they also have amazing sketch samples to show you today, so stop on by to see:
Thanks for taking on the challenge this week! 
Karen
