Whew! It's been a full weekend. I was really spoiled being off of work. I now have weekend for cleaning, laundry, errands, visiting, volunteering and, oh, can't forget stamping!
Some of my time this weekend was used stamping for my church dinner auction. A friend of mine is in charge of the raffles and asked if I'd help snazz them up a bit - how could I resist a request like that?
In addition to that project, I did get TWO cards made from this week's PPA challenge,
TIP: This is one of the cards I came up with. You need to remember that your card doesn't have to exactly match the sketch, but can be inspired by the sketch.

I know I've said this before, but I have become more comfortable with challenges the more often I do them. If you've not tried them, I would highly recommend it!
My card features Pink Pirouette and Pool Party. I stamped my sentiment on the first image and blurred the words - back to the inking board! For round 2 I lightly sponged the background with Pool Party, Pink Pirouette and Daffodil Delight. Instead of mounting the image on top of the Pool Party card stock, I used the oval framelits to cut both the image and a matching opening in the Pool Party and attached the image inside of the opening. I used my markers to color the image. To give some texture to my card base I used another image from the Bloom With Hope set with Pink Pirouette ink. I stamped the image once, then again without reinking and repeated the process until I had the bacground filled in. It gives a subtle but very pretty background.
I took photos of all of the cards I completed today and found a big fingerprint on the images when I went to edit them - hmmmm, wonder where that came from? So I'm off to retake photos and call it a night.
Be sure to stop back tomorrow to see another version of the PPA sketch.
