Pink {Ink} Sketch Challenges Blog Hop!

Well, there had to be one didn't there...the one who didn't think okay, if it's 9th July in Australia it's 8th July over here...so sorry I missed the first day of the hop and, well, the opening itself, I'm really really kicking myself, I can tell you!

Today (or yesterday...) marks the start of our brand spanking new sketch challenge blog and we're doing a fun hop so you can meet the DT and see what amazing ladies I get to work with :D!


Here's my take on our first sketch, which was designed by Jane:


Card Ingredients:

Stamps:
Magnolia; My Favorite Things sentiment
Paper: Elzybells Art Stamps cardstock; Pion design paper
Embellishments: Kaisercraft pearls; Wild Orchid Crafts roses; string; metal corner
Tools: Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Oval and Scalloped Oval Large; My Favorite Things tag die; McGill leaf punch
Copics:
E00, E51, E93, E21 (skin, cheeks)
E44, E43, E42 (hair)
E41 (socks)

Right, onto the hop, if you've come here from the very talented Cheri then you are on the right track! If you're just getting started then please go to the Pink Ink Sketch Challenges blog and start the hop there.

We have some amaaaaazing sponsors lined up for you, giving you a chance to win some fabby prizes! From a super-cute stamp at Tickled Pink Stamps, owned by our very own Kellie, to some more cuteness from Love to Stamp, a lovely stamp from Whiff of Joy and a gift certificate from Whimsy Stamps all the way to a choice of five digital sentiments from our Cheri at Graphicat Designs!

I'm off to go sit in a corner and be very ashamed of myself...but before then I'll send you onto the amazing Jane for some more hopping! Have a great day, thanks for stopping by and don't forget to join in with your own take on our sketch!




Hugs,
Erica
