Sketch Girl Sketch 2 (SG2) Just Chillin' on a branch


It's that time again! Time for another Sketch Girl sketch challenge--I hope you'll play along! Go to the Sketch Girl blog and link up your creation so we can ooh and aaah over it! If you upload to an online gallery, please use keyword SG2.
Would you like to win a stamp set??? Go to the Sketch Girl blog for all the details.
Here's my take on the sketch. Buttons are the hot trend right now and since PTI came out with Everyday Button Bits, well, I've been looking at buttons in a new way. I wanted to add some color to this branch so I added a small button over the flowers. (Look at all those un-threaded buttons, Michelle!) I used some of my newest acquisitions, a wood grain background stamp and a pad of October Afternoon Cherry Hill paper.
I hope you'll take a moment and check out what the other Sketch Girl Designers have made with this sketch.


The next Sketch Girl challenge will be August 15th. Have a great day!



Stamp set: Sassafrass Lass Oliver & Friends, sentiment from PTI's Day at the Beach . Cardstock: PTI Kraft & vintage cream, SU choc chip, close to cocoa. Ink: SU choc chip, summer sun and PTI True Black. Pattern paper from October Afternoon, Cherry Hill collection.
