Sketch Challenge #2 and some Kimmie's Kandy!!!

Wow!! Yesterday when I hit 20,000 visitors, I thought, 'How cool is that??' When I started this blog back in February, I never expected a) to enjoy it nearly this much, b) to 'meet' so many cool people with the same love of stamping and c) that I would hit such a high number so quickly!!! Thanks so much for visiting me here at my little stamping korner of the world and for making me feel so goooooooooood!!!

So in order to celebrate I thought I'd post a little sketch challenge!!! We had so much fun last time, why not do it again??? This time we are making a LONG card!! For this card I used an AWESOME image from High Hopes Stamps called Noah's Parade!! I had so much fun playing with it....all those animals are so cute!!

The image is stamped on Shimmery white paper and I used my Stampin' Up markers in various colours to shade in the images. Then I sponged around the edge with Chocolate Chip. The card base is So Saffron and the size of the whole piece of paper is 8 1/2 X 7 1/2 and then folded the card front is 8 1/2 X 3 3/4, but you can do whatever size you like, as long as it is a loooooong card! For the matting I used a piece of Basic Grey paper from the Hang 10 collection and adhered my main image WITHOUT pop dots...heehee...off to the left side. I used some orange gingham ribbon at the top and added the All Aboard sentiment on a matted tag (which I did pop dot....*insert giant eye roll here*) and matted it on Pumpkin Pie cardstock with a copper brad. Then I used 3 square copper brads along the right side to fill in the leftover space and finish it off!!! I love the way it turned out and I'm sure you'll be able to make some awesome cards using this sketch!!!
