I used the Love Is Kindness and Sheltering Tree stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! to create my card for the Stamping and Blogging sketch challenge this week. Once you take a look at my card, be sure to stop by the other Design Team Member’s blogs to peek at their creations too!
My card design was inspired by Stamping and Blogging sketch SB90.
I started by sponging a panel of the Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP (Sale-A-Bration item) with Wild Wasabi ink. I adhered the sponged panel to a panel of Whisper White card stock with SNAIL, then to a Calypso Coral card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I adhered a strip of Typeset Speciality DSP that I’d punched with the Hexagon Punch to the card front with SNAIL. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Sheltering Tree photopolymer stamp set in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a panel of the Best Year Ever DSP (Sale-A-Bration item) and I adhered the sentiment panel to a panel of Whisper White card stock, then to the card front with SNAIL.
I stamped the flower image from the Love Is Kindness stamp in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink on a Whisper White panel, then I colored it with my Wild Wasabi, Calypso Coral (Sale-A-Bration item, also in Annual Catalog) and Smoky Slate (Sale-A-Bration item, also in Annual Catalog) Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers. I punched the image out with the 2-1/2″ Circle Punch, adhered it with SNAIL to a Wild Wasabi card stock circle that I’d cut with a Circles Collection Framelits die, then adhered the layered image to the card front with SNAIL.
I tied a bow with Linen Thread through a button from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack (Sale-A-Bration item) and adhered it to the card front with a Glue Dot.
I punched a strip of Best Year Ever DSP and Typeset DSP with the Hexagon Punch and adhered them to a Whisper White panel inside the card.

Tulips are a personal favorite for me. These colors are gorgeous and this card is beautiful! All of your sketch interpretations are so clever. When you win a challenge, what’s the best way to find out? (I realize this was a blog hop, but I’m just wondering.)
Thanks so much Melanie! To answer your question, most of the challenge blogs post the winners once the challenge closes. You can either go back and check for the blog posts or subscribe to the blog and you’ll automatically get an email when they post the winners. Hope that helps! 🙂
