It's time for another Sketch Challenge (PPA44) at Pals Paper Arts and this week we're working with this simple sketch I designed for you to "play along at PPA!" This versatile sketch offers endless possibilities!
Bright, fun colors showcase the friendly flowers made using the Boho Blossoms punch and simple mini brads. Tiny leaves are compliments of the Heart to Heart punch. A sunny band of Summer Sun is accented with strip of Real Red, punched with the Pinking Hearts Border punch. A birthday sentiment from Well Scripted is enhanced with a red adhesive rhinestone for a little added bling!
Now it's your turn! I hope my simple sketch will inspire you to get out your stamping supplies and just have fun! Need more inspiring ideas? Check out the fabulous creations of the PPA Design Team and this week's Featured Artist, Carla Bazhenow! You're sure to be inspired! Create a card using my sketch and submit it at PPA via Inlinkz before 12:00 Noon CST on Tuesday, June 1st! Come play along at PPA!
