CTS Sketch Challenge

Hi Everyone,

I am so excited today to share my post. First off, how darn cute is that sloth? I can't stop looking at him! Anyway, I'm here today to share my project for the Case This Sketch challenge. It's super fun because my demonstrator friend, Brian King is the designer for this challenge. 

When I saw this challenge, I knew I wanted to focus on designer series paper and I am prepping for a stamping group too. I decided to combine both and didn't want to go floral. I am seeing lots of floral projects on Pinterest and other places. A lot of my stamping friends ask for get well and thank you cards, so this is perfect. 

The Back on your Feet stamp set is wonderful! The characters have so much personality and the clever sayings just make you smile. 

For this project, I used the Mosaic Mood Specialty Designer Series paper. It has this wonderful embossed texture and is a nice, thick weight. When you add the strip of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon and the punched leaves, you are in the jungle with the sloth.

Wouldn't you agree that the sloth is too cute? When I was coloring him with Stampin' Blends, he came to life! I even feel his "sigh". The Stitched Shaped Oval is also perfect for the Sloth and other characters in the set. 

I'm so glad that the CTS #331 designed by Brian King was perfect timing. I love participating in the sketch challenges because it helps you to design. I don't know if I would have thought to do a project like this one if I didn't see the sketch challenge. 

This challenge still has many days left. You should design your own project and submit it. You can also see many other projects when you visit the site.
