Your Next Stamp Sketch/Colour Challenge # 17

Welcome to our sketch and colour challenge #17 at Your Next Stamp. Each challenge includes a sketch and colour options to inspire you.

Create a project based on the sketch and/or the colour combination. If you are working with the colours use at least 3 of the colours and you can add only neutrals.

This week I had fun with the sketch, once again putting my own spin on it. I flipped the sketch on the side and created a fun scene using the Word Critters - Spring Bird stamp and the Fence die. The sentiment is from the Jessica with Cupcakes set.

The paper is Cool Summer from Carta Bella. The cute clouds were perfect for my scene.

Inside the card I used Heartfelt Sentiments.

For our sketch and colour challenge # 17 you have until July 9th (midnight) to play along. You can see more inspiration and link up your projects over at Your Next Stamp.

One random participant will WIN a $15 gift card to the YNS store. If you feature a YNS stamp or die (must be the main focal point) you will receive and additional $5. When you use a YNS image there is also a chance of being selected as a YNS Top Pick. That's right, bragging rights for you and a fabulous badge to show off on your blog! Sounds exciting right? Ink up your stamps and show us your crafty stuff!

Have a fabulous and crafty Friday friends!

For my first card I used the super sweet DINO-MITE stamps along with the STITCHING MARKS CIRCLE Die.

 

I just adore these cute prehistoric critters, however I knew that my darling dino was going to include pink, glitter and flowers! I used Copic markers on my dino and added sparkle using my Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter.

Of course, you know my card is not complete with out a finished inside. I just love the sentiments with this set. This one is my favourite.
