Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 103


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 SSSC103 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

I wanted to use the new Taylored Expressions set, Cozy Cottages, today since I'm having a difficult time putting it down.  I know!  I'm loving this little cupcake cottage with all of its frosting goodness - yum.  I started by stamping the image in Memento Rich Cocoa 3 times to paper piece the frosting and cherry, and then I colored the base with Copics.  I cut out the tree using the Whimsy Tree Die from Fine & Dandy True Blue paper by My Mind's Eye and added a few Island Lagoon Rhinestones to the leaves.  To add a little more to the cherry, I added some Diamond Glaze to it and then sprinkled pink glitter over the top.



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!
