It's time for the new sketch at The Sweet Stop, SSS200:
Since it's our 200th sketch, we are giving away a SWEET prize at The Sweet Stop. Make sure you check it out!

It started out really good, but then I stamped 3 little heart images... which I ended up not liking... so I had to cover them up somehow... which then turned into a mess... I didn't really like the arrows either...
Hence a little bit too much ink and embellishments... oh, well... next time I will do better! Maybe...
The inspiration came from CASE Study Challenges #130 (a Teri Anderson card).
Recipe: Library Card, Heart-2-Heart #4 clear stamp sets (Papertrey Ink), Heidi Swapp stamp set, Date Smash stamp (EK Success)... Heart-2-Heart #4 die set (Papertrye Ink)... My Mind's Eye-the sweetest thing designer papers, White card stock (Georgia Pacific)... Tuxedo Black Memento ink (Adirondack), Peach Parfait ink (SU!)... Baker's Twine, wood veneer HELLO talk bubble (Recollections by Michael's), sequins (Darice), mini staples (Tim Holtz), mini paper clip, black glimmer mist (Tattered Angels)...
Make sure you check out what the rest of the Sugar Babies came up with: Cathy McCauley, Janice Melton, Korin Sutherland, Ceal Pritchett, Marlena Peduzzi, Melissa Shultz, Robin Parker, Faye Wynn-Jones, and Stephanie Serrano.
Enjoy your weekend,
Monika

I ADORE this! All the little inky splatters are delish, although, I like the would-be hearts and arrows, too. And I LOVE this sequin trend! Totally on board ;)!

very cool, I just cut out a phone image from my cricut last night and this is great inspiration for it, I was thinking the ink marks were suppose to be from a pen that leaked when you went to right down a message ;0 I didn't even think anything of it until you pointed it out, Love it!
