Stars and Stamps midweek throwdown challenge

This week's throwndown was to use one of the sweet digital images shared by Michelle Perkett Studios. I chose this Goldilocks drawing. I used this week's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge from http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/ Fun!

Stars and Stamps sketch challenge #30

Here is this week's sketch from OWH-s Stars and Stamps blog.

Last year I bought this Inkadinkado sentiment stamp too late to use it for any OWH Thanksgiving cards so I'm delighted to get to use it now. Used some punches and dies for the leaves (Cuttlebug), acorns, border strip (Martha Stewart). It was a fun one to make.

Autumn with no sentiment. That to me was a big challenge! It was fun to use this great tree image from Curtis's Collection along with the Basic Grey paper. The wild fiber seemed like it was made for this card.

Inkadinkado sunflower stamps and a Cuttlebug leaf die. Very simple! Oh and the bee stamp too.

This one also meets the Midweek Throwndown challenge, autumn & no sentiment. The cute little scarecrow is an older Studio G image.

This little guy is a digital freebie from Sliekje.

I combined 2 digital freebies on the front panel. The fairy is from

There is an actual rubber stamp used to make this card, LOL. It is from Hero Arts and is used as a resist on the vertical strip and tone on tone for the base. The image is colored with Prismacolor pencils and Distress inks for the edging, resist background and the base layer tone on tone. The strips are paper lace and ribbon.

Here is this week's sketch challenge from OWH's Stars and Stamps blog. I happen to think it is a particularly nice one ;-D Thanks Karen!

It just so happens I have a card ready made for this sketch. The Uncle Sam image is in the public domain and I added the sentiment in PSE. That fun ribbon I have had for years. It gets pulled out for patriotic holidays and thank you cards for our troops. The star embossing folder was a treat I bought myself when I could no longer resist it, lol.

You can see a couple more of my cards made with this sketch here-

Stars and Stamps midweek throwdown

This week's throwdown was to use one of the digital images kindly shared with us on the Stars and Stamps blog by Anthony. I chose his manga drawing and it was great fun to work with! I digital paper pieced her dress, shoes and ribbons and colored her skin and hair with Prismacolor pencils. Used McGill and Martha Stewart punches and Spellbinders dies.
