Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 117



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 SSSC117 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.


I picked up this cute little There She Goes gnome from My Little Friend for this sketch - love all the gnomes and their sassy little sentiments.  I started by stamping him in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored him with Copics.  I sponged around the bottom in Memento Desert Sand and added a little sponged Memento Canteloupe around the top edges.  These cute papers are My Mind's Eye Lime Twist - Fly a Kite and the card size is 3-1/4" x 6-1/2".  I love this size card and I never seem to make them much.  That's a shame really. 





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!
