Hi Tuesday People....sorry I'm late today. I AM this week's Cat's Pajamas Hostess with the Mostess and it's time again for the sketch challenge.
This week's sketch was inspired by a card created by the wonderful Rose Kerry. Rose always makes amazing cards. She's especially generous with her swaps and they are A+++ Quality. She's also know as the Baroness of Brads in our Yahoo Group. This girl can use some brads! I don't even want to think about how much she spends just in brads to make her fabulous swap cards. Anyway, when I sat down to start my sketch for this week I was a bit stumped. I searched through my card and just wasn't that inspired. Lo and behold, right above my keyboard was this card that I just received from Rose. It was one of her many SU! convention swaps. I love everthing about it...especially the simple-yet-striking layout. Thanks, Rose, for always being an inspiration.
My card uses Mummy Sprinkle (D-6330) and Trick or Treat (C-5265) from The Cat's Pajamas. In fact, it's a whole line of "zombie mummy Sprinkles". Aren't they funny?! The patterned papers are by Imaginisce - the Hallowhimsy collection - "Velcome Inn" and "Eeks & Shrieks"...cute names! Instead of the scalloped edging I used my pinking shears. I like that "craggy" look for Halloween. Every thing's colored with Copic markers, including the ribbon which started it's life as black and white. (I needed to "dirty" it up a bit to match.) The paper that I stamped on is Papertrey Vintage Cream. It works just as well with the Copics as their White.
It's your turn! Create a card using the sketch and your Cat's PJs stamps and link it here to this post by the end of the day on Saturday, August 9th. (Use keyword TCPTUES19 if you're uploading to Splitcoast.) I'll gather up all of the entries and forward them to Alma for next week's Holy Moly Monday Slideshow. Be sure to visit the other TCP gals to see what they've done with the sketch this week and check in with Alma's blog to view the slideshow from last week that featured the "Christmas In July" themed cards.
They are all too cute, but the mummy one is my fave!

Here is my card using this sketch. I am sorry that I didn't have any girly girl TCP stamps. I made this card for my great niece who is turning 3. I loaded it onto Splitcoast here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1010634?cat=500&ppuser=66942
