Stampin' In Alaska

I'm stopping by tonight with a last minute card using this week's I {heart} sketches with(out) a tWist recycling sketch #2 I didn't get to play along with the challenge when it was first started so these "recycled" sketches are new to me. This was a tough one and took a little thought on my part. My card features the adorable digital Five Party Birds .  The image was colored with Copic markers and layered onto designer paper from Basic Grey.  The circle element was die cut  from Stampin' Up! Basic Grey cardstock. A button die with bakers twine finishes the card.  I'm also sharing my card with the following:   Simon Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes Word Art Wednesday:  #280 - 281 Anything Goes

I recently won the sketch challenge at Your Next Stamps and couldn't  wait to order their new Aquarium Antics stamp set and matching die.  There are so many fun water creatures in this set to build aquarium and fish bowl scenes -- or just showcase the images alone. This is my entry for the YNS Sketch and Color Challenge #62 .  The papers are from American Crafts and the image was colored with Copic Markers.  A Loopy Rings die from Memory Box represents one of the panels and sequins from Verve finish the card.

I'm sharing a last minute entry for this week's sketch challenge at My Favorite Things .  My card features a retired stamp set and matching dies called Sew Nifty. The sketch was perfect for the dress form and tall sentiment. Verve Stamps Scripture Medley 4 was heat embossed in white. I think it really pops on the Real Red card stock from Stampin' Up! The little scissors die is  also included in the MFT set.  Thanks for taking a closer look!
