Hi friends! It’s Wednesday, which means there’s a  new weekly Sketch Challenge on the My Favorite Things Challenge & Inspiration Blog.  Every Wednesday this month I’ll be sharing a project following the weekly sketch.

For those of you that are new to the Sketch Challenge, it’s a weekly challenge in which you can create and link up any project you make inspired from the sketch provided.  And the best part is you’ll have a chance to win a $50 gift voucher to the MFT shop!

Here’s this week’s sketch:

I used the adorable Birdie Brown Birth-Yay stamp set to build the scene for my card.

 I colored the the Rhino with W5, W3, W1, and W00 Copic Markers. The other colors I used: Balloon- V09, V17, V15, V12, V01, V000; Turtle- YG 61, YG63, YG67 (shell) YG01, YG05, YG09 (Face and legs) YG 21 (belly and shell dots); Red hat- R59, R29, R27, R24; Blue hat- B00, B02. After coloring, I used the coordinating Die-namics to cut the images out.

To assemble the card, I cut a strip of striped paper from the Candy Land 6×6 paper pack, and adhered it to an A2 size card base. I glued two thin strips of bright pink card stock to each side of the pattern paper. I stamped the sentiment on to another piece of bright pink card stock with embossing ink, and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I die-cut the card stock with a Stitched Sentiment Strip Die-namic. I used a rectangle die from the A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX to add stitching to one side of teal card stock. I adhered the teal card stock to the card base, then added the sentiment strip with thin adhesive squares. I used more adhesive squares to add the images.

I can’t wait to see what fun projects you all make this week! Be sure to head over to the MFT Card Challenge page to enter. I’ll be back next Wednesday with one last sketch and projector February. See you then!
