In Style Stamps October Sketch Challenge

It's time for a new sketch challenge today at In Style Stamps!

But before anything else I have some really exciting news to share with you!!  Two of my cards are going to be published at the end of this month in the SNR Card Universe online magazine!!  One of them uses an In Style Stamps image called "Mailbox Love" and the other is a Michelle Perkett Studio image called "Angel Of Hope", I'm so excited to be having two more of my cards published and thought you'd like to do the happy dance with me again!!

And now... on to the sketch challenge ;)

I'm using Patches for my sketch challenge card today, he's available as a digital image at In Style Stamps.  

I've included the sketch so you can see how I came up with the card layout.  I used Copic markers to color Patches, the paper kit came with punch outs and rub ons so it was fun to use those on my card.  I believe the paper is made by My Minds Eye, it came from the clearance section of an on line store this last summer so it's old and may not be available anymore.   I also used Spellbinders dies and a Papertrey Ink large ric rac die.

I hope you'll join us at In Style Stamps for our sketch challenge this month.  There are prizes to be won so you should go check it out!

I'd like to remind you of my give away in honor of my followers, you can read about it here.
