Little Sophie is guest starring this week on From Courtney's Closet Challenge #45.
Sophie's Mama is Katie Brooks at KB Stamps.
I used this sketch challenge from Jen del Muro at iheart2stamp.One thing I have learned from playing along with Libby's weekly challenges, is to use what I have on hand. I didn't even come close to having any flower DP to match Sophie's flowery pants, so I made my own with an old retired stamp set from Stampin' UP! named Petite Posies. This set does get pulled out and used still...after all these years!
I took my inspiration from Jen's Sketch, Sophies pants and those "orange" pop blocks, and this week's Celebration over at Penny Black's Saturday Challenge. Now I call that multi-tasking LOL!
You can see in the first picture that everything is on dimensionals, making for some fun 3D. I even got to use my new Martha butterfly punch. NOWWWW...as my stampin buddy Charla knows, I used to have a real aversion to bug stamps...including and especially butterflies. I used to just cringe at them...(I am clueless to understand why) but I am slowly coming out of my cacoon LOL and just getting over it! Now, I am not sure Charla has gotten over her smiley face phobia tho!
Do you have a certain type of image that makes you cringe?

Sue, so cute! Thank you so much for making such a wonderful creation based on my Sophie's outfit, it makes me smile! I love how you incorporated the orange fro the pop beads, nice touch!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute! I'm kinda afraid of some of the fairies I've seen in craft land. Some of those fairy stamps really creep me out!
ReplyDeleteYou always do such an incrdible job with this challenge, but to combine as many as you did in one card is simply awesome! Great card! Best, Curt

ReplyDeleteThis is DARLING!! And I love that sketch, too. Great job on both challenges.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I LOVE this card!!...the color combo, the flowers in the background paired with the hedgie (love hedgies!), and the way you did the ribbon with the sentiment. Fabo!
ReplyDeleteHiya Sue, this is absolutely stunning, I love this layout and your colour choice is perfect. Joey.xxx
