HLS May Sketch Challenge + DT call

Hello! It's the first of the month (pinch and a punch) and a brand new Sketch is ready for you to play along with over at Happy Little Stampers




We also have heaps of announcements over at the blog including a brand new challenge that is starting up in July and a DT call for ALL our monthly challenges. Pop on over to find out more.


Here are my DT cards (yep I made two)



My first card was created by masking off a section with painters tape and then sponged ink through a Tim Holtz stencil. I rotated the stencil when applying the second ink (black).  I like the masculine feel of this card.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges



ABC Challenge - H is for Happy Birthday




My next card was a bit of a mistake really. I masked off a section again and used my Hero Arts dot stamps to recreate the sketch. I went to stamp my sentiment (a freebie when I ordered from Whimsy Stamps) and what did I do? I stamped it upside down!! Hahahahah!! I went to throw it in the bin and thought I could get away with it by 'pretending' I had 'meant' to flip the sketch upside down. Worked for me!! ;)

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

Crafty Gals Corner - Polka Dots and/or Stripes
Crafty Cardmakers - Dots

Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is


and you could win 3 digis of your choice!


Ok! Now pop on over to Happy Little Stampers because there is heaps going on and you don't want to miss out.



Thanks so much for looking xx

I adore the first card-love airy feel plus grunge-will be CASEing this and those colours on the second are fab and think I like the sketch this way round-will be playing for sure.

    Love the rings and it is a perfect card for a guy! And I love the bright circles and the way you "flipped" the sketch for the second card! I'd wondered if flipping was allowed.

    Two fantastic cards. I love the bright colours you have used when stamping your spots and dots, and I love how you have rotated the sketch so that the dots are at the bottom. Thanks for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers and more. Sally.x.

    I really like the zingy colour combination on this card - it counters the white space beautifully. Thank you for sharing it with us at Crafty Cardmakers & more.
