simon says... choose a sketch!

Hi, friends! Time for another challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp challenge blog! :)

This week's challenge is a sketch challenge. Always fun, seeing as how there are many many different ways to interpret them. Here are the choices:

Sketch #1

 

Sketch #2

And as for product, the team used Art Impressions. If YOU have any stamps from this line, we'd love to see them used... but it's not mandatory for participation in the challenge. :) Anyway, I used sketch #1, and a fun sentiment from the Art Impressions line, and here's what I came up with:

Both sketches were a challenge for me because of the layers. I ended up going with sketch #1, and obviously my design is a verrrry loose interpretation. ;) I used this fun (and very true!) sentiment stamp found HERE. I also used EGGSHELL and SHALLOWS Layering Papers from Hero Arts, and patterned paper from Basic Grey's  PB & J 6x6 paper pad. The cup was made entirely from my nesting circle dies and a couple of punches! I didn't think about it until just now, but I forgot to photograph the inside, where I included a gift card to your local coffee shop... just in case anyone was wondering about the actual purpose of the card. Hee! ;)

Alrighty, it's your turn! Use one of the sketches above to inspire your creation (please include in your post which sketch you were inspired by), and link your project HERE before 8am EST US next Wednesday (the 20th). You could randomly win a generous gift voucher to spend at Simon Says Stamp!

And by all means, please go HERE to see what my fellow teamies have made for this challenge! :)

See you soon!
