Time for a Sketch Challenge

Hello Crafters. Hey it is Leslie and I am your hostess for this week. I am very excited that we are doing my Sketch Challenge On Come and Get It. This is actually the first sketch I have done on My Digital Studio almost totally by myself. (thanks Cindy). I tried to make my sketch easy so hopefully many of you will give it a try. So you can try my sketch and make it even better by checking out some cool images from our Sponsors at Bugaboo Stamps.



This week's challenge is sponsored by BUGABOO STAMPS!  
We will use the Random.Org and the winner will receive.........



Here is a little information on Bugaboo's History:
As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of paper crafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 
 If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps at  Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT  for weekly challenges at Catch the Bug!
  
Our designers are also using images from Bugaboo stamps in our creations this week, we look forward to seeing your creations and visiting  your blogs.

The image that Carole has used is unique I have not see anything like it before and the dramatic colour choice really makes the image 'pop'. The hidden tag behind the image is a great idea. Everything about the card is lovely. A wonderful card Carole - lovely work!

This week my pic is Ann Marie Governale's card at My Eclectic Spirit. I love the baby carriage image and the way the rest of the card works so well with the image. Beautiful card.
Leslie 


My pick for this weeks challenge is Ann Marie's card. I love the card layout and the window which showcases the lovely baby carriage image. Ann Marie I think the colours you have used and the add glimmer to the card with all those wonderful embellishments have created a stunning card. Well done!
Regards Meighan


I was totally amazed by the sweet card that #3 Ann Marie made using the Wild Rose Studio’s Stamp set ……..(of course it’s from the UK) She did a wonderful job of composing her card with just the right amount of sparkle! Love it Ann Marie!  Thanks for sharing your Art! 
Hugs Shell♥
  
  
I like the over all design of the card along with the way she used the distressed inks for colouring. Great use of different images from her collection of stamps.

 I've picked Karen's card as my top pick for a couple of reasons, first of all she made a different type of card it is a pyramid card not with one window but two, and on top of that made it into an easel card. The images are sweet and the card is just great. Thanks for playing with us Karen.
Cindy


Again I want to say what a ray of sunshine and talent we have here Thanks again to all who played and hope you will join us tomorrow for another great Theme, which I'm sure you will all love, hosted by Shell.
