Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 114


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 SSSC114 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

I bought myself another little Pure Innocense Girl from My Favorite Things and just couldn't wait to ink her up!  This cutie is from Being Cute Is What I Do and I bought her because I fell in love with her little pony tails.  I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black and again on Stella & Rose Hazel paper to paper piece her little shirt.  I colored her in with Copics and then stamped the sentiment on vellum, which just happens to be a happy mistake since I didn't judge the room underneath her to put the sentiment under the ribbon I was going to put there instead.  So happy times!  I actually like the look of that and will have to remember that in the future.  The flower is a Die-namic from MFT as well and I'm still figuring out how to work it without rolling it too tight.  haha!

Today is also Sarah-Jane's and Vicki's birthday, so please be sure to wish them a happy day.  Oh, right, and it's mine too!  Sweet Sunday Celebration over here, hehe!

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