Challenge #8 - Watercolor

It's Sunday people!! That means a new challenge from PILE IT ON!! This week's challenge is to use WATERCOLORING on your project (and of course, at least one other current challenge from anywhere else in blog-land!!). Now I want it to be known that I am NOT a stamper! However, I also didn't set the challenge this week - my partner in crime Dalis did!

Also, it's the last Sunday of the month and our sponsor this week is STAMPS & SMILES! She has such cute stamps (like the cupcake on my tag) so you might want to check out the Stamps & Smiles store!

Here is this week's sketch:

Challenge #6 - A Sketch!!!

Welcome! I just want to let you know this is the third time I am writing this post and I am going to be writing it in MS Word and then copying it into blogger (who appears to be having issues lately) so if it looks a little funny this week and all the handy links aren’t available - I’ll apologize now!

Anyway – that being said – onto the challenge! This week’s challenge is a sketch, created by our very own DALIS!! As always, besides the sketch, you will also need to combine your creation with one other CURRENT challenge!

Here’s the sketch:

And now the lovely creations from our Design team (Please see their blogs for all the details on the actual challenges they used):
