Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 252

Good morning!! It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Want to play along? Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use the InLinkz button down at the very end of this post to enter your card. Be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which features your card. You may post a picture of the sketch on your blog, but please save the image to your computer first. Use the keyword SSSC252 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.


I'm using the color palette from this week's ColourQ Challenge, which is beautiful and bold and perfect!


I've had my eye on the Ombre Builders set from Papertrey Ink for a long time and I finally bought it this week. I chose the small dot pattern and stamped it repeatedly with the colors from ColourQ (LOVE). The sentiment is from PTI's Birthday Bash Sentiments, which is stamped in black (I'm thinking I should have embossed it in black). I really wanted the background stamping and sentiment to POP off the card, so I embellished the different layers in white and scattered some clear sequins.


The rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers have much more for you to see this week - please stop over and see:

Thanks so much for stopping by!
