SUNDAY SKETCH & STAMP #4

Hi crafters - I thought I'd try the Sunday Sketch & Stamp #4. The sketch is quite a nice one to work from - I'm just not totally sure about my result - half of me likes it and the other half isn't sure. I stamped the 4 ladies 3 times and pieced the hat and trim, then coloured in the faces a tad with water colour pencils. I stamped the images on white Gina K cardstock with Mementos black ink. I used Martha Stewart's lace border punch and polka dot ribbon for trim at the bottom. The word "friends" was cut on the Cricut. The stamp I used is one stamp with the 4 ladies' heads on one block of wood and is from Heather's Stamping Haven from Ottawa, Ontario - here in Canada. This is the first time I have used all 4 ladies on one card. Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

Be sure Marion - it's an absolutely STUNNING card. I love how you've used 4 different but the same stamps. The paper piecing looks fab. And I love the colours you've used. Thanks for playing along with us this fortnight at Sunday Sketch & Stamp! Hugs, Sem x

Marion - wow! Love how you've made the ladies hats match the backing paper. Plus, the black, white and red makes such a striking colour combo!

Thanks for taking part in the Sunday Sketch & Stamp Challenge.
