Papertake Weekly GDT - Sketchie!


Good morning Papertakers, and welcome once again to another challenge at Papertake Weekly. Thanks so much to everyone who entered last week's Buttons & Bling challenge - don't forget to check out the main challenge blog to see if you are a winner.

As it's the last week of the month we have a sketchie free for all for you: you can use either the sketch on the main blog or any of our previous sketches (please do let us know which one you've used).

We are sponsored this week by

Simon Says Stamp

who are offering a $20 store voucher - woo hoo!

Here's my card for this week ... I think there was a teeny bit of confusion over which sketch was the one for this month so I'm not publishing it here ... but I'd changed it a bit anyway due the extremely large size of my stamp, so that's probably a mercy (call it artistic licence lol!!).


I've gone in a bit of a different direction for me with this card, driven by the yummy vintage-style "Country Lady" papers by LotV. I somehow came over all vintage and non-cute, so I rummaged in the depths of my stamp box and pulled out this Inkadinkado floral stamp with script writing... I really love it but sadly have not used it for a loooooong time!!  This was also the first time in a long time I have broken out my heat embossing powder and Twinkling H2O paints - scary or what?


Stamps: Inkadinkado "Tin Can Mail"; Whimsy "Firendship Tickets" sentiment;
Media: detail gold embossing powder, Twinkling H2O and Cosmic Shimmer paints;
Papers: LotV "Nitwits - Country Lady" (all edges distressed with Tim Holtz distressing tool);
Supplies: pearls from The Hobby House; lace by Papermania "Vintage Notes"; Woodware crocheted doily flower; ribbon from my stash;
Tools: Marianne D Creatables "English Rose and "Branch Forest" dies; La La Lands corner flourish die.

Challenges:

Sparkles #41 - Lace It Up
