Summer Vacation

Today I'm continuing with the summer theme cards with this creation for the new challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. We're featuring Deidre Mosher Design images this week so let's get started...

This is the terrific sketch for this week created by our own Sally for your challenge pleasure. And what a pleasure it is to work with this sketch. It looks great and has lots of layers which I love.

Wildly whimsical and seriously sassy art is Deidre Mosher's trademark and we're thrilled to have her sponsor the challenge this week. The Grand Prize winner will receive a $10 gift certificate for her digi stamps at Deidre Mosher Designs.  Thanks Deidre for your generous sponsorship!

I choose this fun digi called Summer Vacation from Deidre Mosher Designs for my inspiration card this week. It was fun to color up with Copic markers. I added crystal lacquer on all the bubbles and the scuba mask to add interest and a little shine to the image.

Now join us over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday to see all the fun cards the design Divas created for your inspiration. I hope you'll use the sketch and join the challenge too!

A Card With Attitude

It's time for a new challenge at Sweet Sketch Wednesday today and we have a terrific sketch for you to play with and a fun theme to follow this week:  Celebrating Women.  We're featuring women in our images from the fun, whimsical digis at Deidre Mosher Designs and we'd like you to use images of women too when you play along.

I love how this sketch that Arlana created plays out on a card - three layers and a spot for a really stand-out embellishment.

Deidre Mosher Designs is our sponsor this week and I love those sassy and unique images that Deidre creates.  The Grand Prize winner of the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge this week will receive a $10 gift certificate to Deidre Mosher's online Etsy store.  A very generous prize that I know you'll enjoy!  Thanks Deidre for your sponsorship!

I selected this Deidre Mosher image called "Couple With Attitude" and think it's just the perfect one for anniversary cards. It was colored with Copics and the papers are from MME Tangerine collection.  I made the flower embellishment by twisting satin ribbon in a spiral onto sticky adhesive paper that I cut with a circle punch. I really like the look of this handmade flower technique.

You just have to see the fabulous cards that the design team made with other Deidre Mosher images of women. Pop on over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday for the inspiration and then join us in the challenge this week. We love to see what our participants and followers create with our sketches!

Life's More Amusing Than We Thought!

Happy Wednesday!  It's time for another Sweet Sketch Wednesday sketch challenge and we have a wonderful design for you this week.  We also have a new sponsor for the challenge this week - Deidre Mosher Designs and you'll love her images that our team is showcasing.

Here's the terrific sketch to follow.  It's our monthly blast from the past sketch - one of our favorites from week 96 that we're bringing back for this challenge.  It makes for a fabulous card design and I hope you'll try it this week.

We're really excited about our new sponsor this week, Deidre Mosher Designs.  Deidre has tons of fun, whimsical digi stamps that we had a great time creating with our sketch this week.  She's an artist and illustrator for more than 25 years and I love her wonderful stamps.  Check out all her terrific digi stamps at her Etsy store:  Deidre Mosher Designs.  The lucky Grand Prize winner of the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge will receive a $10 gift certificate for Deidre's digi stamps.  Thanks so much Deidre!

I chose this amusing image, Domino the Funny Dog, to create with which comes with the fun sentiment.  I thought how "amusing" to have a dog in yellow and colored him that way with Copic markers. I like the soft colors of the image against the strong background papers from Basic Grey's "Out of Print" collection.

The fun flower embellishment I created with a MS edge punch (the same used on the edge of the ribbon) and gathered it in a circular pattern.  The button covers up some of the rough edges and the pop dots I used to secure it.  The flourish is a MFT die.

I hope you'll join us this week at Sweet Sketch Wednesday!  Head over to the SSW blog and see the wonderfully whimsical Deidre Mosher Designs images the Divas created with to inspire you!
