CPS Sketch Challenge

Before starting to stamp my sample for today’s inspiration challenge, I thought I check out the newest CPS sketch. I hadn’t participated in their challenges for a long time.

It looked like fun and I played with it.

I cut enough the Tres Jolies Paper for a square as well as the rectangle version I shared earlier.

Of course for the rectangle version I completely strayed from the sketch and added the big image layer over it. But the sketch was my starting point.

This card also uses the same Prism cardstock as the previously posted card.

The measurement for the layers are 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ for the card base, 3 7/8″ square for the chocolate layer and 3 3/4″ for the dotted paper.

The horizontal strip measures 1 5/8″ x 3 7/8″ and has paper piercing on both sides.

Giggle is from the Unity Stamp set “Giggle Grove” and was inked with Jumbo Java Dew Drop ink.

I actually sewed on this card with my Janome Mini sewing machine.

I used Unity Stamp company stamps on both cards that were posted today. These are sneak peaks of sets that will be available starting May first. Why I got my hands on some of the stamps before they were released will be revealed tomorrow!!!
