I was thrilled to have my card chosen as Winner of Newton’s Nook, Inky Paws Sketch Challenge. Thank you so much to everyone at Newton’s Nook. I love playing with their fun images.
Hello and welcome
Wow!!! Today we begin a new and special challenge with which we celebrate Time Out’s 10th Birthday!!!
For this challenge we have so many great sponsors:
So I hope you'll join the fun!!
For my card I decided to use a new set from our sponsor -Newton’s Nook – Birdhouse Greetings. Such a cute set I won recently!
After cutting 2 Stitched Banner Dies from Paper Rose, I stamped and Distress watercoloured the images before adding them to the panel.
The senetiments are from the same set.
The cloud stencil is fromMFT.
Please head over to our blog to check out the wonderfully inspirational work by the rest of the Design Team! I hope you will find the time to join our challenge this month.
I look forward to seeing what you create! Good luck!
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I love to read your comments and will be sure to check out your blog.
I hope you all have a chance to enjoy some crafting time.
Cheers
Helen

What a fun design and also great way to add a long stamped image (made a mental note), Helen. I must admit that those bushes look so real, I was intrigued to look at how you added the depths to the bushes. Also I love the way you used the speech bubble.. a very tweet card.

Since Ishani beat me to the “tweet” pun, I’ll just say I love your bird-i-ful card Helen! So many amazing details (the shading on those bushes for one) …. and of course a speech bubble – well a little birdie did “tell” didn’t he! So much fun, just love it! Hugs, Kate!
