It's time to celebrate! - TMS #500 and blog hop

Happy Tuesday to you!  
It's time for
Today is our
500th sketch challenge!!!!


And we are celebrating!!!  

We're so excited about this accomplishment that 
we decided to have a blog hop.  

Be sure to start (and end) with
 Tuesday Morning Sketches' blog.



I'm Debbie and I've been on the Tuesday Morning Sketches team for 7 years!!    I've loved being a part of this team!    It's been great to have the friendship and support of my wonderful design team members, I've been blessed to "get to know" so many of you talented crafters through our TMS connection, and I love the TMS set up - - a sketch with no seasonal or theme requirements attached that can be interpreted by each of us in our own style.  :) 

Our sketch this week (see it below) is a little challenging at first glance, but really it's super easy and open to so much possibility with stamps, dies and borders.  

Here's my card and it features a clear sentiment from Stampabilites that I've had forever!  I stamped it with Versafin Onyx Black and clear heat embossed it.  I cut it out with scalloped stitched rectangles from Cheapo Dies.  My decorative element is Spellbinders Roses and Thorns. I added Wink of Stella to the flowers so they shimmer IRL.




I also made a "casual" version using an image from Prettygrafikdesigns, Spectrum Noir markers, CottageCutz Stiched Rectangles, Impression Obsession Scribble Circles, and a Bo Bunny clear sentiment...




The prize I am offering is.... a set of 24 Spectrum Noir markers (Lights)



(If you win my prize and live outside the US, you will
receive a $10 gift certificate to Bugaboo Stamps)



**Be sure to comment here and link up your creation on the TMS blog to be considered for prizes.  Yes!  You could win BOTH here on my blog and the TMS blog.

Here's the sketch... (Seriously, do not let it scare you... the possibilities are endless!)

The next stop on the blog hop is... 



Enjoy!

The wedding card is very elegant and nice colors! I love the little cactus though. He's very cute and a fun use of the swirly circles!

Debbie you really nailed this sketch TWICE! Amazing cards. Loving your interpretation. Congrats on 7 years with the team. That's a long time. And congrats on this wonderful 500th milestone. Looking forward to playing with the sketch.

Oh wow! Love both cards! I like how you used the sketch and also the dies on your card. Thanks for showing us different ways to use the sketch. I struggle with putting together a card at times, so the sketches are really helpful! The first one is so pretty,and the second one with the cactus is too cute!

Love both your cards. The fancy die cut is so great for the formal feel. That winking cactus is so cute.

Both cards are quite lovely! I adore the cactus card and how you used the scribble circles. I think I went way too literal on my first make … I'm going to see if I can make another entry a bit more loosely...

Congratulations on the 500th sketch! Must say I do love the sketches!
Hugs from Africa!
