Friday Sketchers Week #2!!


Well, I am completely overwhelmed at the amazing response to our International Sketch Blog!!! Last week we had over 3500 visitors and over 120 entries to the first sketch!!! Holy Canoli!!!! That's just awesome!!!

This week, my friend Beatrix from Germany is the hostess!! She has a fabulous sketch for you to try out! Funnily enough, we both used the same Magnolia image on our sample cards and didn't know it until we'd uploaded them!! hahaha! Great minds, think alike, I guess!! Oh and there is an amazing prize for a random winner this week, sponsored by Kim at My Favorite Things!!!



I made this card for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day last weekend. I used a Tilda image from the Stamp Club Kit for the main image and an Inkadinkado stamp for the sentiment. The patterned paper I used is some retired SU paper and I can't remember the name of it.....something like Spring Showers, I think? Anyway the cardstock is Blush Blossom, Certainly Celery and Close to Cocoa. I added several layers of Prima flowers, some grosgrain ribbon and some white paint was used for the highlights on Tilda. My mother-in-law really loved her card.

Well, I'm off to work....again....but I hope you get a chance to play along with this week's sketch challenge on Friday Sketchers!!
