The Challenge #59

Welcome to my blog!  We have a really fun and versatile sketch for you to try this week over at The Challenge.  I enjoy all of our challenges but I have to admit that the sketches are always my favorite :)








I really had fun with today's card (as you can probably tell, hee hee)!  I used splatter stamps from 2 MFT stamp sets, Jumbo Abstract Art, and Distressed Patterns, to add all of the color to my card.  I stamped on watercolor paper using distress inks (Mustard Seed, Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry, and Mermaid Lagoon) that I misted lightly with water after inking the stamp, but before stamping it.  The sentiment and smiley faces are from Paper Smooches Spreading Sunshine stamp set.

There are soooo many ways you can go with this sketch, which you'll see when you hop over to Lesley's blog and see what the design team has done.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!
