Skipping Stones Design

Yippee !!!  We’re back today with another Mahhvelous sketch From Maren Benedict.

Here is her dahhling creation using “Whispering Wings” and “Timeless Textures”  I adore the sentiment that goes with the lighting bug.  It is the perfect sentiment to describe children, and friends in our lives.  Time spent with them seems to be the bright spots in our days.

Now arn’t  you just dying to play along???  I know I was… Yall don’t mind that I spent so much time making cards that I won’t be coming out with new stamps for a while…..Just kidding.  But seriously a good sketch is like Pringles.  You can’t make just one!!

So on this first card I used the new set “Always Here” for the sentiment and Focal point.  Then for the background on the circle I used “Timeless Textures”.  I just can’t seem to get enough of musical notes.  It adds a touch of elegance and class to whatever project you are working on.

This next one is a preview of a new set coming out soon.   I have fun doing Christmas cards in non traditional colors.  The patterned paper is from My Minds Eye “So Sophie” The solid paper is from Bo bunny dot, and the ribbon is Papertrey.

This week our guest were inspired to create some amazing cards as well. 

Here Wendy Price used “Always Here” and “Healing Wings” to create a touching sympathy card.  I love the how she used a splash of Red to brighten up the rich earth tones.

Vanessa used Dandelion Dreams in her very creative interpretation of the sketch.  I LOVE how she thought “out of the box” and used a stamp image and sentiment to create the line of the circle rather than using a paper circle.

Dina is an amazing artist!  Her water-coloring ability shines through in this yummy creation using “Buns and Crunches”  I am working on getting this a little bigger.

  Are you interested in becoming a stamp tramp for the next DT term? If so just check out our DT call on SCS.  Here are the stamp Tramps with to share their inspiring takes on the sketch.

Kandi got Swanky with her card using “Girls Night Out” and paring it with the perect patterened paper!

Michelle used “Friendly Fruit” on her bright and cheerful birthday card.


Jennifer also chose “Friendly Fruit” to create her bright and funfilled birthday card. 

Peggy and Maren were on the same page when creating their cards for this sketch.  Peggy also used Whispering Wings to create this amazing card.

Here Amanda used Timeless Textures to create this fall “beauty”.

Now it is time for an apology as I have been terrible about picking winners for the sketch challenges.  SO I have some catching up to do this week.  I will announce the winners and give more sneak peeks at this month’s new stamp set by Friday.  Until then have a great time with this sketch challenge.  I can’t Wait to see what you do with it.

Hugs,

Heather
