More is More

Happy Friday.  It’s time for another one of Taylor’s fantastic sketches!  Even though she’s off at CHA scouting out all the latest papercrafting products, she left us with a Friday Cupcake Challenge (cupcakes not required) to play.  Get all the details on her blog by clicking here.

For this week’s sketch I decided to make a sentiment my focal image.  I’ve had this Inkadinkado sentiment for quite some time and honestly I’m not sure if it had ever been inked.  I love this sentiment as my friendships mean so much to me.  Not having any siblings or even any cousins really having wonderful girlfriends has meant the world to me.

The sentiment was stamped on Poison Ivory shimmer cardstock with Palette Hybrid Noir Black ink and then highlighted with an aquapainter and ink in River Rock and Groovy Guava.  Other cardstock used – Wild Wasabi base, River Rock layer with Polka Dot background stamped in Wasabi, Prism cardstock in orange (not sure exactly which orange) and SEI Winnie’s Walls dp.  The prima flowers were embellished with Karen Foster adhesive rhinestones and the scalloped edge was fancied up with some Fruit Punch Stickles.

PARTY ALERT!!!!  In case you haven’t heard, next week is Dare to Get Dirty ’08 at SplitCoastStampers.  Starting on Monday the 21st and running for 7 days you can play in challenges hosted by Dirty Dozen Designers (Current and Alumni) as well as chat with them in chat threads IF you are a member of the SCS Fan Club.  Challenges will be posted at approximately 9am Pacific each morning – but you don’t have to play that day.  I believe you’ll have 2 or 3 weeks to upload your creations.  If you frequent SCS you really need to join the Fan Club – it’s kind of like supporting PBS.  As a thank you for your support you will receive the opportunity to view all months of the exclusive Dirty Dozen Fan Club gallery, you get to participate in special events such as DTGD, and you have instant uploads for your gallery.  So come join the fun and stamp with us next week!
