I want to start today's post with a great big THANK YOU! to all of you who have been playing along with this. It has been so fun to see all the different cards with one sketch. This week my regulars (those who get the sketch early) will amaze you! I thought this would be a hard sketch to be versatile but the different cards are just incredible. Be sure to take some time to check out all of their samples. Believe me it will be well worth your time. OK, on to the sketch............
And here is my sample............
Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Taken with Teal, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Taken with Teal and Chocolate Chip
Other: cuttle bug, paper piercier, brads, white gel pen
I am on a male Birthday card kick. Need to increase my stash so this is what I came up with. The background is a spin on a technique that I originally got from the Technique Junkies newsletter--it was called Triple Mosaic. I added the twist of using the cuttlebug and actually did a tutorial here. If you are not a member of the Technique Junkie Newsletter you really should check that out. It is a terrific resource done by my friend Pat Huntoon. She also participates in this challenge and one of my designers that gets the sketch ahead of time to post with me. Since the only thing out of the ordinary on my card is the background and I already told you where to see that tutorial I am now going to move on to the other fabulous designers that worked with the sketch.

As always I encourage you to play along. You can post it anywhere you want, you don't have to have a blog to play. If you post on Splitcoaststampers please use the keyword TSSC4. Don't forget to leave me a comment with the link so I can post it on here too. Can't wait to see what you come up with. The sketch looks much harder than it is. Have fun.

Mary Jo - I am so glad you've posted a tutorial on your take of this technique. I think I like it much better then with stamped images. Seems like you could lots of neat cards in very little time. Love that card of yours. Now off to check out the others...

Mary Jo, your card is so cute and the color combination is very attractive!
Love the guy cards you're posting!
Nice card, I love the manly kind, I'm behind as well.
Great job -- sorry I was late -- I started over the weekend, tossed what I did, and left myself 1/2 hour to do this -- Criminy, the brads took me longer than that!!!!
wooohooooo! Great card MJ! Great colors!
I actually got a chance to do the sketch today since we had a snow day! woo-hoo.
