Ready for a challenge???

Linnecards is having a card sketch challenge on their blog! You can visit the Linnecards blog by clicking on the banner at the left or by visiting: http://www.linnecards.com/blog/. You can sign up to post challenges and win prizes! Yah!

This week, some the Linnecards Designers created a card based on Sharon's sketch of LC150. Here's mine:

Don't you just love the patterned papers? Those are from Basic Grey's Bittersweet collection. Other supplies include: cardstock (Bazzill), Just the Edges (Bazzill), rick rack (Bazzill), quilted heart (chiyogami paper + foam + chipboard), stamps (Basic Grey, My Sentiments Exactly!), polka dot embossing folder (Cuttlebug), ink (Memories), embossing powder (Creative Beginnings).

I have to admit, I really missed playing in our "Fun Room" at home. I'd also been waiting for a chance to try out a "paper quilting" technique - I had purchased a kit (by Hanko Designs) awhile back and finally broke it out. The heart was cut from a Quickutz die, as well as the foam, and then covered with a piece of chiyogami paper in my stash (from Mom - thanks!). It's hard to see the 3-D quality, but it gave the embellishment a nice and puffy "lift". This is a special birthday card for someone turning the big 3-0 in just a few days... (you know who you are - hope you enjoy the card! Happy Birthday!).
