Saturday Sketch Challenge 10/17

I had soooo much fun yesterday at Stamp Camp! Even though most everyone was sick, schooling, or getting their plumbing fixed, Debbie and Carlene came. Haven't seen either of them for over a month as they are our World Travellers these days LOL! so we had fun catching up and playing!

So, on to today's sketch. I had a harder time than usual with this one because I wanted to do pumpkins again but I've done so many lately, I needed a change. I colored our Night and Day Designer Series Paper with a sponge and my Real Red inkpad and came up with this. Hope you like it!!!! You can see the sketch over at the Utah Divas Blog

Supplies:

Set: Christmas Tags Hostess Set

Cardstock: Real Red, Night and Day Designer Series Paper

Ink: Basic Black, Real Red

Accessories: Wide Oval Punch

Have a great week!!!!

Cardstock: Basic Black, Confetti White, Cast-a-Spell Designer Series Paper
