EXCITING NEWS and a NEW Challenge Blog!


There's a BRAND NEW CHALLENGE BLOG starting today and I'm thrilled to announce I've been asked to join the Design Team!!!   This new challenge is called Make The Cards Challenge ... be sure to check it out!  

 
 Lots of fun new challenges coming your way and I'm so proud to be a part of this amazing design team!  Let's have some fun!!

We are starting out with a SKETCH ...

I love doing sketches so I was thrilled to see what our first challenge was to be!  Remember the sketch above is for your inspiration  ... a main starting point.  You are allowed to flip it, add a little something extra ... that sort of thing, but just be sure you can still see the main sketch theme within your project.  Here's what I came up with ... hope you like it!!

 
 After gathering all the necessary pieces I wanted to use that matched the sketch exactly, I then decided to add a few other elements.   The black accent line around the outer edge using a Black Zig marker broke up all the white space and then added a little 'movement' with the leafy flourish. 
 
Product used:
Papers:  White card stock, Black card stock, Echo Park 6x6 Dots & Stripes design paper
Stamp:  Endless Creations
Dies:  Memory Box 'Stitched Scalloped Circles' (#30047), Cheery Lynn Designs 'Leafy Flourish' (#B571)

I do hope you'll come check out this new challenge blog and oh yea, I forgot to mention ... this is a WEEKLY CHALLENGE ... going live every Monday at 9 AM EST.  Something new & fun to get your week off to a great start!    Hope to see you there!

As always . . .

  10. Hey, congrats, Darlene! More fun for you! Your card really jumped out at me in the Feedly thumbnail. I kept thinking "popcorn", which I love, but it's so much prettier!
