S & S Sketch Challenge #162

Well I finally found the time and energy to post a card.  I think it has been over a month since I last posted. I apologize to all of you because I've not been very good about commenting either.  I thought I was going to be able to say I was retired as of tomorrow, but something has come up and I will be working another week training someone.  Anyway, here is my entry for the S & S challenge this week found here  .


The flower stamp is an older one by Outlines and I colored it with SU markers.  I punch a small hole from Green Galore cs, attached it to the center of the flower and then covered with the Glossy Accents.  I went with my "go to" Hello stamp by Hero Arts and stamped it directly onto some patterned paper from Christmas Tree Shop and then black embossed it.  I scored the card base and I was done.  I guess from not making any cards in so long I've completely lost my mojo.  I'm hoping it returns next week once I get to spend more time in my craft room.    I wish you all a wonderful upcoming week and thanks a bunch for stopping by.  See you next week.

  11. Good to see you peek in! I love Outline Stamps, but I find them so pricy. This flower is actually one that I oogle over all the time. I did break down and buy their catalog at a show. You have used it to create an awesome sketch card. As Carol said, get through the next week and come back to us!
