Fabulous!

It's week 2 of my month long guest spot with Skipping Stones Design and I'm having so much fun with these beautiful stamps!  I told you last week how I was enjoying the Birthday Purses set and I just had to use it again this week!  We have another great sketch from guest sketch artist Lea Lawson, you can see the sketch on the SSD blog along with all the cards from the design team.


I love this sketch! What a fun way to highlight this pretty pieced bag.  I pulled out some more of my fav Be Mine Echo Park paper.  I pieced the bag first and then stamped it again on white cardstock so that I could color the handle & bow which were then cut out and layered on top of the patterned bag.  Adding the ribbon through the bag handle was just a fun little extra I discovered when laying out the card!  Doesn't that sentiment just bring a smile to your face?  You can hear the accent right? tee hee!


If you'd like to give the sketch a try please leave your link on the SSD blog, I'd love to see what you come up with - you may even win 1/2 off a SSD stamp set! :)  Thanks for stopping in today!
