I really like the latest sketch for the weekly challenge at SplitCoastStampers. Here's my creation for sketch challenge #181.

Well now that I'm back from vacation I find that my friend Carrie, The Artistic Avenger, put up a challenge when I was away. So here's what I came up with. Enjoy!

The Artistic Avenger(Carrie) has her latest inspiration challenge up on her blog. I really like this one because it is monochromatic and I like doing cards in this style. Below is the image on Carrie's blog for Inspiration Challenge #3. Take the time to head over to Carrie's blog and check it out and do a challenge or two.



Here's my finished creation.

I really wanted to come up with something new and simple. I am very pleased with these cards. I punched a 3/4" circle out of card and used it to dry emboss the part where the image sits. For the rings I used my 1", 1 3/8", and 1 1/2" punches. The only other tool I used was my homemade stampamajigthingamabobber. Enjoy!

Here's a few cards I've been working on, some are cased and some are layouts from SCS challenges.



This one is a case from Artistic Avenger.

The next one is a case from SCS, but I can't remember who I should credit. Sorry!


The inspiration for this one came from Artistic Avenger.

My friend Diana had her birthday at the beginning of April and for a gift I potted forty suckers that were made to look like flowers. I must admit it was my better half's idea, i just made it happen. Also, the sucker flowers were numbered 1 to 40. I have to tell you that this was a fun project. Enjoy!

What do you do when you don't have a certain stamp image? You draw what you want, and in my case for this card that's what I did. I wanted to make this thank you card with a shore scene, but since I didn't have one I made up my own scene using Staedtler pigment liner pens. I'm sure everyone recognizes the birds from the Zoofari set, which I used because they really look like shore birds. The beach scene was much bigger than what is on the card. I tried cutting it down but i goofed, I cut the piece at an angle so i decided to tear it to the right size instead. Enjoy.

I haven't made cards for the challenges on SCS for some time now, so I created one for the weekly Sketch Challenge. This is my favourite type of challenge next to inspiration challenges, and one monthly inspiration challenge is done by my friend Carrie so take a look at her blog. Anyway, here's what I came up with for SC168. I hope you like it.
