Thankful Thursday Sketch Challenge

This week Latrice from InStyle Stamps has this weeks Thankful Thursday sketch challenge and it is just a lovely one! I used the new Retro girl Steph for mine...she is just so hip! I swapped sides for the sentiment and ribbon just because it worked best for my image and the empty space beneath the phone. I know that this week there is a real special prize up for grabs so be sure and check out the InStyle Stamps Blog to get all of the details!

Everyone is well and seemingly recovered from the sickness that has been hanging around my family so I am off to the craft stores to see what is new... ;o) Have a great day!

Thankful Thursday Challenge

In Style Stamps has a sketch challenge every Thursday and DT member Melissa has a great one to try this week. My Thankful Thursday challenge card uses Jasmine.   There is nothing that quite beats the thankfulness a family has then when a new little bundle of joy arrives!

Jasmine is just so trendy and put together...not me at all! (LOL) I pull my hair up in a pony tail and call it done :o)   I stamped Jasmine with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with a variety of coloring mediums: Bic It markers, SU markers, and Koh-i-Noor pencils with Goo-Gone (yes, that is quite a variety!) I did try something that I think is a light bulb moment for me...I colored the dress with my pencils and didn't think the red dots were quite "red" enough, so I went over them with my Ruby Red marker and it blended beautifully with no lines that I can tell.  I don't know if it was the Goo-Gone residue or what... 

Be sure to check out the rest of the In Style Stamps' Design Team for more creations using this sketch. There is also a prize being offered so create your own Thankful Thursday card using this sketch and post a link on the In Style Stamps blog to enter.  

I hope you have a great day!
