The Artful Stampers Blog Hop #67

Welcome from Leah's blog.
This week we have a Sketch Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:


This is what I came up with:



I wanted the little Honeycomb Embellishments as soon as I saw them in the occasions catalogue, as they are so sweet and I realised how perfectly they fit in the centre of the small Metallic Foil Doilies. Then when we had this sketch I knew that it was the perfect opportunity to use them. I also love how the Glitter ribbon adds a little more bling. I think this makes a very girlie girl card and am looking forward to using it.

Welcome from Alison's blog.
This week we have a Sketch Challenge.

This is what we had to work with:

This is what I came up with:
I used the sketch this week to make a birthday card for my nephew who loves playing baseball. It really was a lot of fun to make and I used a few goodies for the first time. The Decorative Masks are a great alternative to DSP and you can customise any plain paper with the colour that you want. There is also a sneak peek of one of our Limited time Sale - A - Bration stamp sets that can be yours for free with any $90 order (before shipping).
