Beate’s weekend sketch challenge #64 (and 63)

Happy Friday & a big Happy Halloween! 

I feel so guilty when I can’t participate in one of Beate’s wsc.  I made it a high priority this week to get my sample done early.  Needless to say, I finished early with the wrong sketch (last weeks).  After trick-or-treating last night, I got started on the correct sketch…which means I now have two sketch samples to share.

For this weeks sketch, I wanted to create my own background paper to coordinate with the colors I wanted to use.  Here is what I came up with using SU! stamp set “A Beautiful Thing”:

You will definitely need to use your Stamp-a-ma-jig tool if you choose to case.  That was really the only time consuming feature of this card.  Once I finished stamping the flowers on my Whisper White cardstock, the rest of the card was really easy to complete.  The sentiment is from Chateau Bella Rub-ons.  I used some felt flowers to the middle of my stamped flower with a rhinestone brad from the Pretties Kit. 

Here is the card I made for last weeks wsc #63 featuring SU! “Seasonal Whimsy stamp set”:

This is not a card that I would have guests create at a workshop.  It would be displayed along with all my other cards.  Below is a similar card that I did have at a workshop this week for a bunch of my Harrisburg Hospital/Pinnacle Health co-workers that is rather easy (OMW..I had my first male guest at this workshop and he did a fabulous job).

Hope on over to the sites of these very talented ladies to see more samples for Beate’s wsc:

Cambria Turnbow, Charmaine Ikach, Jenn Balcer, Laurie Schmidlin, Lori Craig, and Sharon Harnist.

I will have some special SU! only christmas swaps to post in the near future.  I participated in Jami Sibleys swap.  You can find so many wonderful organized swaps at splitcoaststampers if you are looking to increase your display collection without having to own every single christmas stamp set out there:)

Enjoy your weekend and thanks for stopping by.
