Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 339 (TSSC339)

I am feeling really excited about this week's sketch, it is a simple yet fun one that I know you are going to love.  I can't wait to see all the samples for the week.  Remember you get a whole week to play along.  Here is the sketch.....

And as usual we will start with my sample....

I ended up flipping the sketch to have the star/circle element on the right side to work better with my image.  I really love this set (I know I have said that before) it is so fun.  This time I embossed the image with white embossing powder on Blackberry Bliss card stock.  I think it looks really petty.

Stamps: The Newborn King

Paper: Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White, Mossy Meadow and Color Me Autumn DP

Ink: Versamark, Blackberry Bliss

Other: circle framelits, Mossy Meadow ribbon, white embossing powder

Falling for The Newborn King.

As a christian I always need to buy the current stamp sets for Christmas that have a christian theme to them and this is so fun and whimsical so I knew I would have to have it--but those of you who know me know that I do not like to use stamps for ONLY ONE purpose so I am using this set for my Latenightstamper's Challenge this month! Yep, I said month--our new challenges will run for a full month and you will have a general theme so you will have no excuse for not playing along. lol.  The October challenge will be to create a sample that fits a Fall, Harvest or Halloween Theme!  Fun right?

So what do you think?  Does it work for fall too???

Stamps:  The Newborn King, For All Things, Fall Fest

Paper: Color Me Autumn DP, Crushed Curry, Whisper White and Soft Suede

Ink: Basic Brown

Other: blendabilities, circle die, Fun Fall Framelits, small flag punch, candy dots

Come on over to the Latenightstamper's Blog to play along with us.

So glad to see you three days in a row!
