Skipping Stones Sketch Challenge & Blog Hop!
Time for Skipping Stones' end-of-the-month blog hop - this is my last post as a guest designer, too.... it's been fun, but it's time to step aside and let some new guests and team members play. Huge thanks to Heather and the rest of the team for letting me hang out with you for these last 2 months! Enjoyed it!
If you just happened to be popping in on me today, and have a hankering to hop, you’ll want to go back and start at Skipping Stones Design so you don't miss a thing! If you arrived here from Alice's blog, you're on the right track. This is Maren Benedict's final sketch for Skipping Stones Sketch Tuesday! If you'd like to play along, link up your card over at the SSD blog. Remember to add keyword SSD035 if you are uploading to any online galleries. Here's my card:
These are stamps from the Friendly Fruit set, which came in my stack of packages last week. The set is full of stippled fruit designs and punny sayings to go along with them. I stamped the watermelon image in Rouge chalk ink, masked the first image and stamped again, then colored it in with Neopiko markers and Prismacolor pencils. Here's a closer look.
Want to win this set? You can - just fill in the form below and you'll be entered! I'll pick a random winner Friday at midnight EST (Sept. 3rd). The next stop on the hop is Jen's blog, Just Jingle! Thanks for hopping by!
