Double or Nothing - Challenge #5 at Stampin' for the Weekend

I can't believe it, we're into week 5 over at Stampin' for the Weekend
and as promised we try to be a little different, so this week we have two sketches and two sponsors for you. Both Kim and myself came up with a couple sketches, that we are giving you a choice of doing. Both sketches will offer a prize kindly donated by our two sponsors.
Kim's Sketch
Donna's Sketch
and our wonderful sponsors this week are Janet from Pink Gem and Linnie from Daisy May


For my card, I used papers from both Designer Extreme Vol. I and Vol. II,in lovely shades of pink and green, the image is of course one of the Gorjuss girls, colored using Copics. I embossed a piece of pink card then cut it out with my nesties and then cut out some circles using my Crop-o-dile. I did some faux stitching on it, and mounted the image off to the left The flowers, and leaves and gems are all from my stash. I cut out a corner and put three clear gems on there, and the sentiment I stamped onto gold paper using Stazon ink.
Thanks for looking and I do hope you find time to join in on our "Double or Nothing" challenge this week. The Design Team have come up with some beautiful cards for your inspiration. So if you like doing sketches head on over and join in this week.

oh Donna (I nearly burst into song then....lol!!!!) this is a stunner, I love the way you've coloured the Gorjuss Girl image, the blonde hair looks fab, I'm hopeless at colouring hair blonde. Your papers are really beautiful and the foliage is a perfect match for them too. Gorgeous flowers, you have done a wonderful job with your sketch, blooming brilliant. Have you used the Leone Em punch to create the leaves/foliage, I am bursting to get my hands on one of those. have a great weekend, luv 'n' hugs xx vicki xx

Hi, Donna, it is "the boob" checking in, lol. Thanks for the great sketch and stopping by my blog. I love your sample, I have resisted those Gorjuss girls but all these fabulous samples are wearing me down. You have colored her perfectly and your flowers are spectacular. Happy Stamping.
