She stamps her birthday sentiment from the new Cat-itude stamp set.  The main attraction is Newton from the Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp set soaring by with his enormous bouquet of balloons.   Sue added extra balloons using the Balloons Stencil.  (Don't you just love how see added the kitty face to the cat balloon!  CUTE!)

Becky Noelle shows off her creativity by using the challenge colors for an underwater adventure.  Beginning with a Kraft card base, she creates the seaweed by flipping the Waves stencil sideways, doing a lot of masking, and texturing in lime green.  She then adds pink coral and starfish from the Tranquil Tides stamp and die set along with a large red starfish, crab, and seahorse.  She stamps her sentiment and adds some white splatters to complete this amazing card!

Today I'm sharing some more inspiration 
for our current challenge! 

Here'a a refresher.
Sketch Challenge

Create a project using the above sketch. 

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

This card is for all those dog lovers out there! Bobbi Lemanski used the Woof Pack stamp set to place on her black tag in which she added white stitching. She added twine for the bow and places this delightful card atop black graphing paper and a lime green base!

Here's another card that will win over a dog lover's heart. This one is by Diane Morales. Diane creates her base by using the edge from the Framework die set. She then creates a wonderful plaid background using the Plaid stencil set and texture paste.   She uses the Fancy Edges Tag die set to create her fun banner and offers a How-To on her blog. For her main attraction she softly colors the puppies from the Puppy Pals stamp set. She adds a pop of red with the two little hearts!

With Easter just around the corner, Sue T.'s is sure to be a hit. Her pretty card begins with a die cut layer using the Frames & Flags die set. She adds horizontal score marks and adheres this layer on a white base. Her tag features this sweet collection of critters and eggs from the Newton's Easter Basket stamp set in pale pastel colors. She adds touches of sparkle on her Easter eggs.

Becky Noelle creates this rainbow-colored card using the Bokeh stencil. She inked up the rainbow background and then mixed some glitter in with an embossing paste which she spread over one of the stencils on top of her inked circles. With such a sparkly background, she pairs it with the Believe in Unicorns stamp and die set. She adds a black banner and a vellum tag with the sentiment embossed in white to finish her amazing card!
