Hi everyone! I took a little stamping hiatus from Freshly Made Sketches last week because I was embarked on an Extreme Makeover - Home Edition. I had two weeks to paint three rooms, swap out two pendant light fixtures, and throw in a few oddball jobs-around-the house. My stamping mojo was completely non-existent. But I'm happy to say the paint is done, the lights are on, and I'm eager to get inky again.
To that end, our latest challenge at Freshly Made Sketches comes to you from Jen Brum. It's got fun layers and a banner, which I love, and I went pretty CAS on it.
I recently got a new turnabout stamp from Concord & 9th (and I'll take a moment of your time to gush about how much I love those)! So I inked it up in the colors of the Sunday Stamps challenge. I stamped the design twice then cut one layer to pop up over the other. Then I went all bold and dramatic and added a slim black banner. I love how that black banner looks against the colorful leaves! I stamped a slim sentiment on top of the banner and *poof* I was done!
Thanks for stopping by! My Freshly Made Sketches teammates have got some fabulous cards to inspire you to play along with us. I hope we'll see you in the gallery!

Your work around the house must have been like a whirlwind to get it all done in 2 weeks! I can't even seem to get a sketch card posted before the challenge closes most of the time! LOL
