ABSSC 039


Hi Blogger's,

It's time for this month's  AnnaBelle Stamps Sketch Challenge. Andrea has made a couple of small changes to the guidelines, there will now be a prize for the sketch challenge winner and Blinkie awards for the weekly Say It In and Say It With challenge winners. Read the new guidelines at the bottom of this post.

I've used 'Lil Michelle Swinging By' along with 'BBD#3' for my card  and because I'm having trouble getting back into a routine, I thought I'd play along with a colour challenge.  

I've used the colours for this weeks challenge at  Our Creative Corner for my card.  How cool is this combo?





This is a 4.25 x 5.5 top fold card with a white base. I've layered Soft Suede and my pink (closest I had!). Strips of Rich Razzleberry - stamped in VersaMark and white chalk ink using BBD#3. Pink dsp from DCWV the Mariposa Matstack. With Baja Breeze which I stamped first with another of the backgrounds from BBD#3 then embossed using Crafts Concepts 'Dragonfly' embossing folder. Straight stitch and zigzag stitch around this layer adds some interest.

Lil Michelle is stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto ABS White card, which is fabulous to use as layering card for Copic markers.   I've corner punched this card using a Fiskars corner squeeze punch called 'something old something new' before wrapping some AnnaBelle Stamps silver cord across the bottom. The image is attached to the card with foam mounting tape. To complete the sketch I punched 6 little petals with an EK Success Punch and finished them with a tiny AnnaBelle metallic Sprinkle.

Today we welcome our July Guest designer and I'm so pleased to see Betty who plays along with us regularly.  Please follow the link and go check out her project along with all the Belles.  DT's links are at the top of my page *wink*.

Thanks for calling past this week, hope you have a great week end planned.  I'm just hoping for some warmer weather!!!!!

Till next time......
