Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 96


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 SSSC96 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

I'm inking up my favorite penguins again - aren't they cute??  These little guys are from Penguin Pals and whenever I use them, I have to use some Sparkly Fluff on their hats - Baby Boy Blue is what I used here.  I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Copics, but the Mistletoe is colored in with a white gel pen.  I used the Large Scallop Border Die along the bottom in patterned paper - I love the mix of big and small scallops on a card - so pretty!  

I have a sad announcement too - Our very sweet and fabulous Joanne is posting her last SSSC card as a team member today.  She has been so wonderful and thoughtful and sweet and we will all miss her.  Thank you for all you have brought to this little team, Joanne!  We lurve you!

The Sweet Sunday Stampers have amazing sketch samples to show you today, so stop on by to see:


Thanks for taking on the challenge this week!
