Sorry I know I missed posting last week's sketch - I didn't really forget but I was so excited over showing off my new stamp sets that I decided to skip last week's sketch and move on to this weeks!
Funny thing tho the card I posted last week is the layout I'm using for this sketch challenge. I really liked how it turned out so I made it into a sketch and made another sample (yes using my stamps again - but I promise I will be showing lots of other stamp goodness - I've been playing around with my Bella stamps and CC Designs and who knows what else so I'll have lots to share over the next few days!!)
Anywho here is the card:
The only thing I did differently with the actual sketch is make this a 4.25" square card.
I used Amy's Boutique and Boutique Sentiments, and patterned paper from SEI's Poppy 6x6 pack. The textured ruby colored cardstock is also from the paper pack.
The flip flops were stamped onto the patterned paper then cut out and adhered over the same image stamped onto white cardstock. I used a black glaze pen on then to gloss them up a bit and blinged them out with an A Muse twinkle sticker.
The sentiment was stamped onto the CS (since it's textured I had to use a detailed black Copic multiliner to fill in the little spots that were missing - took 2 seconds).
Fun tidbit about the Poppy papers - a lot of them have metallic shimmers on them (like the one used for the flip flops) - VERY cool in real life!!
I used my sewing machine to add a bit of zig zag stitching (was able to get some black thread yesterday!), then added some ribbon, rounded the top corners of the patterned paper and that was it!!

Here's the sketch:
If you upload your card using this sketch to any public galleries please use the keyword AMYRS37 to make it easier to find.
And don't forget to link directly to your creation in the comment section of this post so that I can see it too! (please don't use just a general link to your blog/gallery - if you've posted several times since then I have to search to find the right post!)
Also if you want me to link to your card in next week's sketch post you have to have it done and linked to before next Friday - other than that there's no time limits at all. I am just happy that people play along!! It's fun seeing what all of you come up with :o)

OK I'm off and running. Veronica's in school today and I have a To-Do list as long as my arm (maybe longer) of things that HAVE to get done this weekend - hopefully I can squeeze in some stamping time while I'm at it!! :o)
