Sketch Challenge with Your Next Stamp

Hello everyone! Over the weekend I stumbled upon another stamp company called Your Next Step.  They do a monthly challenge so I decided to participate.  I do not have any of their stamps yet, but they are nice enough to let anyone play along in their challenges! If interested, please go over to Your Next Stamp and play along! This is the YNSFFC08 - January 2014 Sketch Challenge.


In going through my stamping supplies this weekend, I also came across a brand new stamp that had never been inked up so my goal this weekend was to put this bad boy to use. This challenge was the perfect time to do it!  Here is the card I came up with:

This color scheme is way out of my norm, but I thought it turned out rather cute, and I am pleased with it. I stamped the first pear with Certainly Celery right on my white cardstock.  I then stamped the dotted pear with Old Olive on scrap white and cut it out and popped it up to give the card a little dimension.  Listed below are the products used.


Cardstock:  Stampin Up! Sahara Sand, Old Olive and Basic Black
Stamps:  Studio G
Ink:  Stampin Up! Black, Old Olive and Certainly Celery
Other:  Stampin Up!  Stampin' Dimensionals


Happy Crafting!

Are these birds just not tooo cute?!?! These little birds are from Stampin' Up!'s "Cheep Talk" set. I saw a card like this online somewhere several weeks/months ago and it has been stuck in my head ever since. Unfortunately, I dont remember where I saw it. When I figure it out, I will certainly come back here and let you know! I just love how you can imagine the little birds just running up to each other for that little "peck" on the cheek. LOL

The colors I chose are this year's "In Color" Bermuda Bay and Sun Yellow with a hint of Melon Mambo. For the center birds I used a pop dot on the girl bird so it looks like she is literally standing in front snuggling with the boy bird.

I thought this card would be cute to use for an Anniversary Card or even a casual/fun wedding card.

That's all I got for today. Spring has certainly sprung here in the lowcountry of SC so I am planning enjoying a little bit of time outside in the nice weather this weekend, but mostly will be inside crafting away for my new Etsy shop!

Make it a great weekend whatever you do!
