TSG58: Sketch This!

Monday, June 7, 2010

Good morning friends!

I hope you all had a great weekend. We had some bizarre weather here in New Hampshire. Saturday we had a tornado watch in effect, which is pretty much unheard of for this area, and then yesterday we had a sudden downpour that blew over huge trees in a nearby town. It was crazy! Today is supposed to be somewhat sunny, and just in time for the beginning of another work week - just our luck, right?! :)

Today's card is for this week's There She Goes Challenge (TSG58) and it's my favorite kind of challenge - it's a sketch!


This week’s challenge is brought to us by our Trendsetter of the Week, Jodi! She has supplied us with a beautiful sketch, and we can’t wait to see your interpretation of it!

I decided a quick and easy card was the way to go with this sketch, so I didn't stray too far. Hey! Why change a good thing, right? ;) The bench is from the Spring Fever set and I clear embossed and heat set it to create a strong image on the panel. I cut it out with my large Spellbinder Circle Nestibilities and sponged around the image with Antique Linen Distress Ink. Then I used some yummy paper from Crate Paper's Brook Collection.

To be eligible for the giveaway, you are to create a card using the provided sketch, then go to the TSG blog to add your name and a link to your project in the Mr. Linky that is located at the bottom of this challenge post. This challenge is open until the winner has been announced on the following Monday (June 14th). The winner will get a $5 gift certificate to use in the TSG Web store!

By participating in this challenge, you may also find yourself in the Trendsetting Spotlight that shines on the TSG Blog every Thursday. We will be on the look out to find challenge cards that stand out and show Trendsetting qualities. TSG stamps are not required to participate in the challenges but are appreciated :) Remember, you do not need to have a blog to be able to participate in the TSG Challenges! You can simply add the URL link from your project after it has been uploaded to your online craft gallery. If you upload your card to an online craft gallery, please use the keyword TSG58 so we can check out your beautiful work!


Thanks so much for stopping by today! I'll be back tomorrow with a card using Taylor's Sketch Challenge.
