SC533 - This weeks sketch challenge. I am really going to push myself even if a bit late to complete some challenges this year and even if I need to combine them.
F4A266 - challenge to you is to make a girl themed project that is doing something fun OR with the word fun in the sentiment. My sentiment says, "I have fun in the rain. I love the feeling on my face." I am pretty sure that is what this darling frog is saying to Mr. Rabbit.
MIX113 - So your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to do the following:
1) Get a sheet of graph paper - or do what I did, and use the attached file to print onto marker cardstock, plain cardstock or watercolor paper, depending on what mediums you're using.
2) Stamp a large, solid stamp image on top of this paper, using a very light colored ink that will be harmonious with the colors you choose. (The ink counts as medium #1)
3) Using a second medium, use a variety of colors to fill in the squares the image covers.
I printed the very nicely provided graph paper from my computer. I stamped the image once on white card stock then a second time on the graph paper for just the umbrella because who does not love a fun umbrella. I kept it girly for the F4A266 challenge and used purples and pinks. Then I loved the one layer paper tole and did it again on the umbrella by cutting a slit between the front and the back and rounding just the top of the umbrella. Oh IRL it is darling. I also added some silver highlights to the purples and pinks on the umbrella with my silver gel pen for some raindrops hitting the umbrella.
IC486 - be inspired by this delightfully rainy Pinterest board: UMBRELLA by Grazia Merio.
well I was inspired by this delightful house mouse umbrella image and grabbed my umbrella house mouse https://www.pinterest.com/pin/51087776998630995/
QFTD255 - Queen Kramomma who has a fantastic gallery filled with super inspirations. I found this darling card: HYCCT1431C Love You More by kramomma at Splitcoaststampers and added the three purple flowers to the bottom of my card. I tried to punch a small hole in my flowers to add some gold brads but alas the centers of my flowers are just too small and dainty and I was tearing them up so I recut the flowers and added gold stickles.
Thank you for looking!

Wonderful job on those challenges Lisa! I love that image and it looks so great framed by the purple and on a white background. Your colouring on the umbrella is out of this world! Super card!
