Another first!

So, I finally decided to swallow my 'fears' and enter a card in one of the Gina K. Designs Stamp TV challenges. I opted to try Jessica Fick's sketch challenge. Jessica even included the dimensions in her directions, so aside from not having square Nesties, the card went fairly quickly!

Rupa Shevde's "So Grateful" pumpkin image was what I chose for the center section. It is stamped on white. As usual, my Kooh-I-Noor Colored Pencils were my coloring tool. I then stippled the white space around the pumpkins with Marvy Terra Cotta Ink. Instead of buttons as an embellishment, I chose to use Gina K's "Friendship Blooms" set. I took the tall vase, stamped just the tall mum twice, colored it, cut it out, and adhered the two mums with pop dots.

The four square pieces of background DP are from "Sunlit Summer" Downloadable DP, found in the "Freebies" on the Stamp TV site. If you've never been to this site, you need to go! There are several sets, and believe me, these downloadable papers are beautiful!

It's been a pretty quiet day at Patti J.'s place! I went into town late this a.m., had lunch with a good friend, and a bit later, I actually found the Martha Stewart Edge Punch set I've been looking for at Wal-Mart! Thanks oodles, Shirley for the heads up!!! They had the Loops, Scallops, and Spider Web sets - $20 for both punches! I got the loops - felt they'd be more versatile. If you have been searching, you might want to try Wal-Mart. FYI: At our particular store, these were not with the other M.S. Punches - they were down the sewing row near the Cropodiles.

Hope you have had a good day! Thanks for stopping by - See you soon!
