Numbers of Years~Sketch Challenge for the Stampers Dozen

Welcome!!!

The Stamper Dozen had another Blog Tour for you. Sit back and enjoy!

This week we decided to do a Sketch Challenge....Love Sketch Challenges. 

I can't wait to show you this fun and pretty card made with the "Numbers of Years" Set & the Timeless Textures Set from Stampin' Up! Oh My....what a great combination. I think I'm in Love!!

This card was pretty easy peasy...just what I love....quick, easy and a WOW! Don't you?

So many different little things that happened here that make it fall together. Don't you love when that happens? I do. I love-love-love making background paper using stamps and this card is no exception for that. In fact I think it made it. I love this little swirly thing from Timeless Textures. I think it's a MUST HAVE! lol

Anyway the colors are Whisper white and Pear Pizzazz with a little touch of Perfect Plum. 

The Card base is cut to 4 1/4 x 11 and scored at 5 1/2 and folded. 

The mat is cut to 4 x 5 1/4 and stamped randomly with the Swirly things from Timeless Treasures. 

I then cut a strip of Pear Pizzazz DSP from the Subtles Collection and cut the strip to 1 1/2 x 4 and used my Triple Banner Punch to flag it. 

My image piece is cut to2 1/2 x 3 and stamped with the Leaves from the Number of Years Set in Pear Pizzazz. 

I filled in with the darling little flower stamps in the set and stamped them in Perfect Plum. 

I felt it needed a little more POW! so I added a tiny strip of Perfect Plum on the left of the Image and a piece of our doilies.  Added a few Rhinestones to the mix in the center of the flowers and I'm done.

I hope you enjoyed my share today.

What I Love

What I Love...now that's a statement! lol 

I love a lot of things, don't you? I especially love my job and the friends I have made along the way because of it. With that said....please read my post from yesterday if you feel so inclined. It will tell you a  bit more or What I Love.

Today however "What I Love" is a Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! and I do love it. 

It's actually a three step stamp but you know me....I love to color. So I only used the one stamp line image and colored.

What do you think?

What I have found is it doesn't take a large image to make a statement. You can do it with small images or even parts of small images and work around it to make them pop!

I love this flower as it's so versatile. You can use the line image like I did or use the 2 step or 3 step images as well. So may wonderful possibilities. Pick a color or two  and go for it!

Did you know that you can get this set for FREE during Sale-a-Bration? 

You can just by ordering product valued at a min of $50. You get one Sale-a-Bration Item for every $50 you spend. Get one ....get them all! Your choice. 

Do you have a current Occasions and Sale-a-Bration Catalog? If not and you don't currently have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator please let me know and I'll be happy to get them to you.
