I'm so excited that I get to announce a new DT position I have with 613 Avenue Create. What a wonderful group of ladies over there. Some of them I already know and share other teams with them, and others are new to me but they are all so full of inspiration and encouragement. Thanks for inviting me, Kathi and Chana!
A new challenge goes up every Sunday morning and this week we have a sketch for you. I love this sketch and stayed pretty close to it, though I have learned that sometimes interpreting sketches not quite so literally is also OK. ;-D Our sponsor is the wonderful Bugaboo Stamps, a company I simply adore, and they generously supplied images for the DT to use. I happened to use one I already had in my collection (I have tons of Bugaboos!), called "Ava Swing." I don't know who's more adorable, Ava or her kitten.
I took my colors from Ooh La La where the challenge is to use 'Orange and Green.' This time my image is colored completely with Promarkers, then die cut with a die from Spellbinders. The lacy mat is also made with a die from Spellbinders. Can you believe that all the papers and card stock on this card were cut from stuff in my scrap pile? I'm on a mission to get scraps used up and to actually throw out the pieces which truly are too small for any effective purpose. I've managed to get myself into that "only-4-square-inches-of-working-space" on my desktop again so I need a remedy. lol
Challenges:
Artistic Inspirations -- Anything goes
Creative Creations -- Spring
Cupcake Craft -- Cats or dogs
Forever Friends Biweekly -- Die cuts &/or punches
Marker POP -- Anything goes
Mema's Crafts Monday -- Anything goes
Pink Elephant -- Spring colors
Sarah Hurley -- Projects with Character
Stamp and Create -- At least 1 die cut
So, if you've never played at 613 Avenue Create, why not come join in. If you have played there before, you'll love this week's challenge. It's a fun and fanciful sketch and you can be as literal or as interpretive as you like, as long as we can see the basic sketch in there somewhere. :-D Hope to see you over there. Happy Stamping.
