S&S Midweek Throwdown Challenge - Miss You And Sketch #109

This week on the Operation Write Home Stars & Stamps blog the MWT Challenge is to make a card using a 'Miss You' theme.  I chose to use my very favorite character from Doodle Pantry and paired him with the Stars & Stamps Sketch #109.  My crafting time has been very limited lately so I am always looking for ways to combine challenges and am actually surprised at how much this approach has helped me to focus and accomplish what I set out to do in the time I have to do it.  Amazing what goals will do isn't it? 

 

The turtle is the digi set called "Turtle Trio" and is precolored, although he comes in the outline form as well for those of you who love your Copics!  The colors in this set match up with the Stampin' Up! cardstock Garden Green and Pumpkin Pie  I also used an SU! flower punch and a misc jewel brad from my stash.  Here is the sketch I used:



This card also qualifies for the monthly Doodle Pantry Blog Challenge that is always an 'Anything Goes' using a Doodle Pantry image and always rewards every participant with a free digi set.  It just doesn't get any better than that!  This month's set, Quirky Bunny, is adorable and is pre-colored (**sigh with a smile**)  There is still time for YOU to participate and get this adorable set to add to your digi library but keep in mind all entries must be posted by March 24th to received the free digi set. 

Happy Stamping and God's Richest Blessings,

Lisa

  5. Oh, you'd have to be the Grinch not to smile and fall in love with that darling face! The orange and green work so well together (and are surprisingly very springlike, when I would've expected fall), and it's great how the shapes on the lighter green paper echo those on his shell! LOVE!
