A week sure has flown by quickly since Beate's last Weekend Sketch Challenge . . . especially since this was the first full week of summer vacation for us!
<< Here's this week's sketch.
So in honor of summer time and Flag Day tomorrow, I thought Karen Lockhart's new Picnic stamp would be appropriate for this week's sketch . . .
. . . here's what I came up with:
I stamped the Picnic image with Tsukineko's Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Neenah Classic Natural White cardstock and colored with these Copic markers:
The image was cut out and matted with the same navy print from BasicGrey's Boxer 6x6 pad that is the far left vertical strip of the sketch. The red print is from BasicGrey's Cupcake line. These two prints were machine stitched to the card.
A little bit of paper piercing at the bottom of the Memory Box Holly Berry notecard and some Flame Dew Drops finish this card.
I hope you'll try this sketch this weekend and don't forget about Ellen Hutson's Friday the 13th sale going on today. You can see this post for all the details. Everything in Ellen's store is included in the sale, even this brand new Lockhart Picnic image I used today, which is included in Ellen's Stamp of the Month packet (also on sale)! Be sure to shop early because once quantities run out, there are no backorders.
All supplies for today's card available from Ellen Hutson LLC.
For more wonderful sketch inspiration, please visit the blogs of these ladies to see what their interpretation was: Beate, Cambria Turnbow, Charmaine Ikach, Jenn Balcer, Laurie Schmidlin, Lori Craig and MaryJo Albright.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Question for you- I'm just starting to set up a blog and I love your calendar on the right sidebar. Do you have the code for it or where did you find it?
I know you are busy so if you don't have time I understand. thanks-Adelle
