Happy Friday! Today is Bloggers' Challenge and it's a sketch. I like my end result, but I will tell you that this particular sketch was a challenge for me. I enjoy having a starting point and then making it work for me.
My card uses the Occasions Mini, Forest Friends, and the soon to be retired, Seeing Spots. I inked up the tree in Certainly Celery then I used the Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker to ink up the brances. This is much easier than using the Certainly Celery Stampin' Write Marker on each leaf. My little "Thumper" is stamped with Chocolate Chip, but I stamped it off on scrap first. He's cut out and added with a Stampin' Dimensional. I used the Eyelet Border Punch to add some interest to the background layers. And lastly, a Baja Breeze Corduroy Button finishes off my Thank You circle.
Can you believe there's only 18 days of June left? That means only 18 days to purchase from the Occasions Mini and any Last Chance items. Remember, you can earn FREE stuff with my Birthday Celebration. But it all ends June 30 so go to my Online Ordering Site and don't miss out!
