A Sketch and Back to School

Morning All!

Happy Friday! So sorry I didn't post all week. We actually took some time off to go visit my sister and dad. It was a great way to spend a few days and other than the rain, we had a blast! I miss them all already and hope we can all see each other again soon.

Stamp Something

Today being Friday means new challenges over at Stamp Something and Just Magnolia. And can you believe it's already the last Friday of the month too! My word, where did this summer go! In keeping with the end of summer, our challenge over at SS this week is "Back to School Somethings" and you can interpret that however you choose. You can make a card for a teacher or your child to wish them well, create a scrap book page of the first day back, or make a back to school gift.

I created this card using a Meljen's Designs digital stamp and some BG Eva papers. The image is Teddy Bear Teacher and I colored my image with Copics and then distressed the edges. Melissa has created a great assortment of Back to School images and we, at Whimsy Stamps, are having a huge store wide 25% off sale, so now is the time to buy! The BG papers have also been distressed. To finish the card I added a piece of satin ribbon, some flowers, and some brads.

This card fits the challenges at:
Stamp with Fun: card for a girl
Creative Card Crew: Sparkle and Shine
Cute Card Thursday: Dying for a Punch  - no punches
BasicGrey Challenges: Fabric (I have corduroy brads)

Just Magnolia

Next is my JM card using our sketch challenge this week. Dawny has created another fabulous sketch to follow and that along with a Magnolia image and you are good to enter!

I wanted to make a cheery card with this sketch so I went with yellow. We have been having a lot of rain lately so I'd like to see some sunshiny yellow! The papers are BG Origins with cream and yellow card stock. I colored my image with Copics and then cut her out and popped her up on foam tape. I've embellished with flowers, ribbon, twine, and a piece of hardware. The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.

This card also fits the challenges at:
Papertake Weekly: 3-2-1 recipe (3 paper strips, 2 ribbons/2eyelets, 1 image)

Thanks for stopping on by today. I hope you have a wonderful Friday and a fabulous weekend!

Happy Stamping,
