STARVING ARTISTSTAMPS is sponsoring Sketch #102 this week on the Card Positioning Systems (CPS) blog. The sketch is by Tami Mayberry and it's definitely "outta-the-box" for me. That's why they call it a "challenge", right?!
Here's my take....two fun little bees making their special Valentine's delivery! The large bee and the sweet envelope are from the DF VALENTINES REMIX set, the little bee from the original DF VALENTINES set, and the "special delivery" sentiment is in the VALENTINES sentiment set. I dug in my closet for some Fiskars decorative edge punches...and I had to really dig too! (I'm not sure that I've ever even used these. I might have gotten them for Christmas a few years ago...oh dear!) I'm thinking that I saw this idea of stamping a background using a sentiment - one red and the remainder black - on another blog but I can't for the life of me remember where it was or who it was. So, whoever you, are I'm giving you a "thank you" shout out. (Woundn't wanna be copyin' without proper representation, don'tcha know!)
I love sketch challenges...it's so fun to see what different creative minds do with the same layout and what stamps they choose to feature. Make sure you stop by CPS to see what the rest of the DOODLEFACTORY Design Team has in store for ya!
your card is just awesome, Leigh - even though it was outta the box for you! LoVe the 2 bees together!
