Hi everyone! It's Friday and it's time for another of Taylor's Sketch Challenges! I haven't stamped in a few days because of my Vertigo, but I'm feeling MUCH better so after a much needed haircut and highlight this morning, I couldn't wait to get home and kick my missing mojo in the behind! Not sure that I accomplished that, but I did make a card!
I used a new Taylored Expressions set called Chillax, from the Whimsical Wishes Line. This is the cutest darned set! The image was stamped in Memento Black ink on PTI Vintage Cream and colored in with Copics. I framed it with Circle Nesties and Blossom Nestie. The sentiment was cut out with the Ribbon Tag Trio (Spellbinders) and was tied with a piece of Hibuscus Burst Bitty Dot Ribbon from PTI. The scallops at the bottom were done with the Embossed Curve Edge Punch by EK Success. The gems are from Amuse.
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 TESC80. 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 September 4th at 8:00 AM PST.

This is just darling, Jackie - LOVE your scallops at the bottom and that flower die behind the main image. I have resisted that die for quite sometime, but ... hm, I'm afraid it might hop in my cart here in the next few days. Bling in all the right places. So cute! Have a great weekend.
