CSS Sketch Challenge Blog Hop

Today I am joining the uber creative STV Alumni CSS group for the first hop of October, which is a sketch challenge. Hopefully you came via sweet Joy's blog , but if not and you want to start from the beginning, go to the STV forum HERE.

Isn't this sketch just fabulous????
I recently got this fun new set, Lots of Lines, via a publication incentive from GKD and LOVE the lined images and fancy sentiments so had to work it into the sketch!!
 
The background was created using a stencil and Dylusions spray ink. The focal image was stamped separately using Clearsnap ink and popped up on dimensionals.
Next stop on the hop is Geri...I can't wait to see what she created using this fun sketch!!

Make sure to leave a comment as you go along because we will choose a random comment and that stamper will win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! Look for the announcement on Tuesday, October 15.

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!

The Craft's Meow October Blog Hop

Hello friends!  Today the The Craft's Meow DT is having a Autumn themed blog hop. I absolutely LOVE the fall...the leaves changing colors and falling from the trees, cooler temps, fewer bugs, Starbucks offers Pumpkin Spiced Latte's...so many things about it just make me happy :)

For today's card I used the stamp set Speaking of Fall:
I stenciled the dots to create a fun background and stamped the solid leaf image using a Spectrum ink pad and stamped the outline using Rich Cocoa. The dots were embossed using Memento Luxe Rich Cocoa and gives a great feel to the leaves!!
Here is the stamp set I used:
