Welcome to this new weekly event! Each and every Monday at noon (EST) I will be posting a sketch and challenging you to use it for inspiration for a project. You can make a card, scrapbook page, gift bag or whatever strikes your fancy. The only rule is to share your creations (grin). You can upload your sample to your blog or anywhere else that you choose and then just leave a link in the comments so we can all see and let you know how wonderful your creation is! If you upload to Splitcoaststamper's please use the TSSC1 in your keyword section so that it will show up in a search. Hope you will play!
I do have a wonderful group of 10 plus women that I am sending the sketch to early so that I can give you direct links to other samples for your initial inspiration so be sure to scroll to the end to see all the links!
And now for this weeks sketch.......
And my card for the challenge....
I adore this little mouse so of course I am gonna want to be using him way after Valentine's day so I needed to find more uses for him that did not include a big heart! This is my first attempt. He really could be holding anything at all! The possibilities are endless.
Stamps used: Happy Hearts Day, SAB Birthday Whimsy and the retired Simple Saying II
Card stock: So Saffron, Bashful Blue, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White and Cutie Pie dp
Ink: Basic Black. Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue
Accessories: markers, watercolor pencils, blender pen and scallop square punch.
