Taylor and the Cupcake Girls are taking a short vacation. We will be back with a new sketch in 3 weeks, July 17th.
So.... it's now down to the top 10 at 2 sketches 4 you... and I was one of the lucky ones to make it! I am so honored! I think I am going to be in trouble this week... these ladies are all so talented!
I played around with couple of different ideas for this week's sketch, and ended up with this:
All supplies are from SU! unless otherwise noted...
Stamps: retired French Script and Friends 24-7...
Paper: Chocolate Chip and Kraft...
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, and Baja Breeze...
Embellishments: pear brads and pearls (Michael's), crocheted flower (hand made), ribbon (Martha Stewart)...
Tools: border punch, circle and scallop circle dies (Spelbinders Nestabilities), sewing machine(Janome), leaf punch (Martha Stewart)...
Thanks for looking!
Monika
