Hi everyone! It's Friday so it's time for Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge!! I LOVE Friday's!! This week's sketch is a super fun one!! My circle is a bit big, but I really wanted to use this darling pocket image from the Unity July Kit of the Month!
I stamped the pocket in Fresh Snow Ink (PTI) onto Enchanted Evening cardstock, crumpled it up to give it more of a fabric look and then distressed the edges. The flowers were colored in with Copics and popped up for dimension. I finally broke down and ordered the new Modern Label punch from Stampin' Up! and I'm so glad I did!! I just love it! It fits so many sentiments!!
Now it's your turn to try the sketch. Taylor will choose the most clever, creative and cute creation from the submissions this week to be the Featured Cupcake Sampler next week. Your design and blog will be featured on her blog during Sketch Friday. You're welcome to create something other than a card, but just stick to the sketch as closely as possible and you'll be eligible for the Featured Sketch honors. If you upload your sketch to Splitcoast, use keyword TESC77. Leave a comment on Taylor's blog with a link to your blog or gallery upload so Taylor can check it out. The deadline to be eligible for the Featured Sketch Honors is Friday August 14th at 8:00 PM PST.
This week's Featured Sketch Sampler is Janet Marks. You can check out Janet's sample on her blog, L-inked With Friends. Congrats, Janet!
