PCC302 Sketch Challenge Concord & 9th Stuck On You Bundle

Hello and Happy Hump Day!  So I did a thing I haven't done in a couple of weeks..... I finally got back over with my friends at Paper Craft Crew and made a design team card for a challenge!  Yep... I know I've been M.I.A. for a while but I'm trying to get back in the groove.  

I decided to go with a pretty simple card again.  I am still in love with my Concord & 9th Stuck On You Bundle.  I love all things cacti... :)

I ALWAYS need birthday cards and I'm really trying to build up my card supply so I went this the Hope Your Birthday Is On Point sentiment!  :)  I did a little Distress Ink Blending on my background and layered in a planter and cactus that I had previously made and stashed in my stamp bundle pocket.  Do you do that?  I love to make multiples and then stash the extras away with my stamp set.  It sure makes quick cardmaking easy!  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Blessings, Tina

SIP #133 with Concord and 9th, Stuck on You

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  I hope you're having a fabulous week!  The weekend was cold here in Middle Tennessee so we pretty much stayed at home all weekend long.  I was actually happy to get out of the house on Monday to go back to work!  We also watched some of the football playoffs and unfortunately one game didn't go as well as we had hoped.  We love our Tennessee Titans anyway! :)

Today over at Stamp, Ink, Paper we have a fun sketch challenge for you!  I hope you'll head over and check it out!  My friend Andrea accuses me of sticking too literally with the sketch.. well I didn't this time!  I really went out on a limb with this one!  Here is the sketch...

And here is my card... I am still playing with my new cool Stuck on You stamp set from Concord & 9th and loving this super adorable stamp set! 

Do you know what else I've been playing around with?  The awesome new Brushos powdered watercolor pigments from Stampin' Up!  They are a lot of fun to play with!  I used them to create my window on this card!   I loved that the smaller sentiments would fit in this adorable little sign!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Blessings, Tina
