This is the progressive challenge image over at the Outlawz challenge blog. The image is from Beccy's Place and it's the spring window from the Seasonal Window stamp set. (Beccy has an awesome sale right now that you should check out. Not affiliated. I just love her stamps!) I used the pre-colored image and took additional inspiration from the Tuesday Morning Sketch.
Most of the papers are scraps from my scrap box. The exception would be the largest piece that comes from the Recollections Home Basic Paper Pack. The solid pick card stock was embossed with Sizzix Flourishes EF. The image and sentiment were die cut with Gina Marie Designs Cross Stitiched Rectangles. The sentiment is from a retired Gina K stamp set called Heartily Yours Addition. The sentiment was stamped with MFT Latte pigment ink and then the panel was inked with Spun Sugar distress ink. I was going to go with the card without the sentiment but at the last minute changed my mind. I don't make many cards without sentiment on the front. I thought this one needed something else.
I am entering these challenges:
- Tuesday Morning Sketches: sketch above (their are two sketches this week so you have a choice)
- Beccy's Place challenge: use a Beccy's Place image
- Through the Craft Room Door: anything goes
- Hiding in my Craft Room: super scraps Saturday
- Word Art Wednesday: inspirational sentiment
- The Outlawz Progressive challenge: use the Beccy's Place Spring Window
I am off to have lunch with a friend and then over to watch the twins this evening. Wishing you a Happy St. Patrick's Day! However you celebrate the day, I hope you have fun! Also enjoy the weekend!

Your card is lovely. That is what we have here too....rain on the chance of it freezing and making driving fun at night.
What a pretty card Donna, the colours in the background are perfect for the spring theme and work well with the image. I like the addition of the sentiment, I think it balances the card nicely. Great take on the sketch!
Cheers,
Beccy
Very pretty card- I love your take on that sketch challenge. Love that touch of texture with the pink strip. How do you get so much stamping done???

Hi Donna, I think we are all longing for spring. We have sunshine and warmer, but the howling wind is back with us. I love the window to spring, that is a lovely digi. I like the way you've followed the sketch too, and the colors. Re: brusho-s...I've only seen them sold online. You buy sets or individual pots of color from Dick Blick. Prob'ly cheaper to get as a set, but if you just want to try, get a couple of colors and see how you like the product. Also Color Burst powder is similar, but I like the Brusho crystals best, as I feel for me, I have more control over where the crystals are placed. It's fun, and you just never really know what you'll get. TFS & Hugs
Yucky here too:( So loving this spring card :)
The mats are so fun!
What a lovely window! Thank you for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
Lovely spring card! Thanks for joining us at Tuesday Morning Sketches.
o is this every pretty. love the blue and pink backgrounds. really makes the pretty picture pop!
yeah, this "stuffiness" is driving me nuts. at least i'm not coughing and it's not in my chest. however, i am starting to notice that my mucus is getting yellow - which means sinus infection. geeze louize. the older we get the harder it is to get rid of crap like this. at least it keeps me playing in my craftroom LOL.
have a fabulous week.
big hugs :)
I thought I had left a comment before but must be slipping!
