One more day of school and then summer break...well that is until summer school starts. I decided to make a second card for the 100th sketch challenge over at
Waltzingmouse stamps...you have to go and check this out, there are so many fabulous prizes and the more you enter, the more chances you have of winning. One of my favorite sets from WM is French Country and so that was my theme when I started my card. I pulled out the few sets I have from WMS and Off Beat Backgrounds was on the top of the pile and after I looked at it for a minute or two I had my idea...I used the mini checker board stamps to create the background and the rest just fell into place, otherwise known as "The Joyce", I just love this technique and think maybe Joyce should patent or trademark it or something, but it works like a charm if you ask me. Back to my card now...I had this red grosgrain ribbon floating around that I purchased from Britex Fabrics in San Francisco that I have been dying to use and this was the perfect card for it...so here is my card and thank for taking a peek.
Don't you just love this new little guy, so adorable!
And the wonderful sketch to celebrate the 100th sketch...
