S & S Sketch Challenge #170

Sunday Morning means time for our S & S Sketch Challenge found here.  This one had me puzzled for a while, but I finally could vision something in my head, which doesn't always happen with me. So I went with it.


I dug out this Fiskar's stamp set that I got for a steal at JoAnn's last year and some markers along with some Tempting Turquoise card stock  and designer paper all from SU.  I colored the stamps with the markers before stamping them, then I added three gem stones that I found in my stash and the sentiment is by AMuse.  The embossed panel is by Sizzix.  Well that has to do it for me today as I need to get out in the yard then run some other errands today.  Hopefully I'll get back here tomorrow.    As always, I do appreciate you taking the time to stop by for a little visit. It's going to be nice here in Southeastern Ma. I hope it is where you are also.   Enjoy!

  1. Donna, pretty card and colors. Love all the white. Yard work was on our list yesterday, could barely walk by the time we got done and have more to do! Ugh...getting old stinks!

  2. Donna, love your snowy card for the weather challenge at HMFMC! That stamp is so darn cute. Love your snowflakes and papers and border, sparkle looks great. Fun snow on hat and ground. LOVE IT. Thanks for sharing and making time to join us at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge. Can't wait for you to join us next time as a GDT member.

  3. You and I were working on our cards at the same time this morning, as we're sitting beside one another in the links! Woot :)I almost went with turquoise colors too, and at the last minute decided to use teal instead! LOL
    It's great to see your card in the gallery this morning as I've missed seeing your work! I love the way you inked your stamp with different colors before stamping, and the little focal image is pretty with those flowers and notched corners!
    Enjoy your Sunday, and keep on stamping my friend! hugzzzzzzzzzzz

  13. Donna - so calming and soft and very cool designs. That sketch does look a bit tricky or would be for me, but your result is beautiful! Glad you had nice weather - we had lots of rain today and the news indicates it will continue all week. Guess rain is good too - cuts down on the need to water the yard (LOL). Hugz!

  16. I always love coming to see what you've done, and wow, that is so lovely! As others have said, it's just calm and serene, and almost zen. I LOVE it!!! We've had great weather here, too. Way sunny Thursday, then light rain Friday and yesterday, then sunshine again today, which was great for the waterfront festival with dragon boat races!

  21. Donna, what great images and such a super job with the sketch. That's a very cool combo of colors, too.
    Ugly and rainy weekend here. Yuck!!! No yard work for me, unfortunately.

  22. Hi Donna, your card is really cute! I love the colors and how you used those stamps. I have some similar type of stamps and they always stump me even though I really like them. I've learned some good ideas from seeing your card! Hope you had a great day in the garden!

  23. Hi, Donna.

    Always good to see a card from you. Really like the contrasting strip that ties into the green of your focal point. Also like the treatment of the corners in that focal point. Nice job!
