Challenge Chicks…a sketch challenge

Do you like sketch challenges? I love them! I think they are right up there with my favorite challenges and no one likes a challenge more than I. ;) It’s Monday again and to start the week off, we have a CHF Challenge every Monday. Today’s is a sketch challenge by Lesley Langdon and we’re inviting you to play along. You can check out the sketch and details here. :)

Live Laugh Love

I combined today’s sketch challenge with a Backgrounder Blitz Challenge . Today’s challenge is stamping on anything but paper. I had this gorgeous thick felt flower that I picked up at Scrapfest the other weekend with Lesley. Isn’t shopping with a friend fun?! You can split packages of product and try out twice the amount of goodies! I stamped on this flower using Canvas Hybrid ink by Stewart Superior using my Grid Paper Backgrounder from Cornish Heritage Farms. I actually usedjks-admit-one-close.jpg four backgrounders on this design. The Large Polka Dots to make my background, the Lined Paper to break up my design and the Scalloped Lace to balance the right edge.

Some funky stitching, some fun ribbon and a safety pin from Creative Impressions and a few Rummage Bin stamps finish off the design.

Have fun checking out the other designs created for this challenge…

    Way to use backgrounders! I’ve gotten so dependent on patterned paper that I often forget to use those awesome big stamps. Love how you have sewn the flower on in circles. So cute and clever. Great card, Julia!
