And its everyone's favorite theme - Anything Goes. No theme, no limitations - let your inspiration soar!  I made a fun card for this challenge - I had a great time making it: I used the the STAMPlorations set  PATCHWORK FRENZY: Graphic Pentagons  to make some fish.

Hi Everyone, its sketch challenge time at STAMPlorations ! It's a fun one: And I did have fun with it, as you can see: I used the  PATCHWORK FRENZY: Graphic Pentagons  for the cute little birds. The pentagons are a little tricky, as they resist pattern stamping - unlike hexagons, which are easy that way. But to make up for that you can use them to make fun little creatures - like my birds.......I just doodled their body parts and gave them googly eyes.... For the sentiment I used the  Sentiment Builders: Christmas & New Year   - it's so versatile, it does not limit you to the Holidays. I heat embossed it in white.       The challenge  ends October 17; the winner will be announced October 19. Our wonderfully creative DT has beautiful cards to inspire you to play!

I am still playing around with my  Stamplorations Graphic Pentagon se t - trying to explore all the possibilities.....

I haven't played at the  RIC  in a while, but I was playing around with my STAMPlorations stamps and liked the color scheme of this gorgeous dress... So here is my card: I made it with the graphic pentagon set .  The pentagons if placed next to each other naturally form a circle. I added some blue - since there is a little blue in that dress and also a bit of gold, for which I used Delicata ink. The center circle is punched - it was black and white patterned paper, which I just sponged in the same ink color as I used for the pentagons I used the Papertrey Linen embossing plate to add subtle texture to the card stock. And now I have to publish this quickly - the linky list is closing in one hour.....

Happy Valentine's Day everybody!  But its too late to make a card for this occasion....Lets start working for St. Patrick's Day! Simply Create Too has just the right challenge for you - its GREEN or St. Patrick's Day I made this card with paint chips. Stamped those beautiful Stamplorations flowers from the set "eclectic florals" on them with Versamark and heat embossed it in white.  The sentiment is from the set - Graphic Pentagon . Added silver thread and sequins for some sparkle. You'll have until 2/27 to link up your card! I am looking forward to your creations!
