Gettin' Sketchy with Woodware USA...

This week we're getting SKETCHY!  Join us as we use the above sketch I created to make a fun card.  You can use it AS IS or tweak it if you wish..If we can "see" the sketch in your card, IT WORKS!!!  So join the fun, make something, post it and cross your fingers...You just may win a fabulous prize!!! 

My Card:

I decided to go a little spa-like for this card.  First, I selected my color palate.  Then I selected the two sets that were perfect for this palate:  Large/Small Greetings and Ornamental Flourishes.  After I was all finished stamping, sewing and assembling the front panel, I squirted a few squirts of Tsukeniko Sheer Shimmer Spritz in Sparkle all over the panel, then attached the panel to a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of white cardstock. 

The four inchies were created by stamping the Ornamental Flourishes stamp using Blue Lagoon Colorbox Chalk ink.  The little happy/you sentiments were stamped in Bisque Colorbox Chalk ink.  Adding a bit of Stardust Stickles and a few bits o' bling just made them the perfect little embellishments along the side of my card.  Since I added sentiment-like words all over my card, I decided to leave off the sentiment at the edge...just not necessary for this card. 

Here you can see a little bit of the shimmer...and some Stickles to make the teal HELLO POP! 

And here's the final product...Simple and spa-like, don't you think? 

PS...All the entries will have another chance at winning right here on my blog... I'll award one participant in the sketch challenge a new Woodware USA stamp set and post the name of the winner on my blog next Monday!!!

Spring Greetings...

It's not quite Spring yet but it sure does look like it around here!  The flowers are sprouting, the trees are budding and the robins are a huntin'!  It's time to get into the cheerful mood and celebrate NEW LIFE and GREEN, GREEN, GREEN!!! 

This week at the Woodware USA blog, we're celebrating SPRING a bit early.  Our weekly challenge is SPRING...so to get you (and a few STAMP SHACK friends) into the spirit, I'm sharing these cards with you!  I hope you consider joining in on the Spring Fest by posting your creation in our inlinkz on the WoodwareUSA challenge blog or at the end of my post. 

I created these cards with some of my most favorite things:  embossing, Diamond Stickles, ribbon, twine, buttons...and doodling! 

 I really love this new set to Woodware USA called "Ornamental Flourishes" and knew the first thing I was going to do with it was emboss in WHITE.  It's such a perfect set for backgrounds and I know it'll be really fun to do the chalk technique with too.   The sentiment comes from the set called "Garden Greetings". 

If you haven't already done so, make sure to head over to the Woodware USA blog to check out all the projects the design team has created this week.  We hope to continue to inspire your stamping spirit and encourage you to join in on the fun...You just may be this month's PRIZE winner!!!

See ya Wednesday as I have some deelish Heartfelt Creations projects to share!
