Shopping Our Stash #326 ~~ That's Sketchy

Hello again!! Another week has just zoomed by and it's time for a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash!! That's Sketchy so pick a sketch and create a card with the sketch, please is you use a sketch challenge blog please give them credit.  I am combining my SOS challenge with the Jingle Belles Pink Christmas with a current sketch from Stamplorations, without any more chit chat here is my sketchy card.

When I saw the sketch I knew the stamp I wanted to use and it's Sunshine Designs set of 4 adorable snowmen, the company is no longer operating but you can find their stamps at the Frog's Whiskers  I bought them on a trip to Stittsville Ontario 8 to 10 years ago. I couldn't find any Christmas paper that has pink in it so I used some stripped paper from a paper pad I bought at Walmart at least 5 years ago, the glitter enamel dots are from the Eyelet Outlet.

finished the inside of the card with a sentiment from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps.  both stamps I used today are from Canadian companies in my home province of Ontario.

Thanks for visiting today and don't forget to check out what sketches the rest of the design team have done for the challenge.

Happy Halloween a little early.....

When I started this card there was an awesome sketch which unfortunately when I looked the challenge had ended but it's a great sketch and works well with the washi tape I wanted to use. I have a few..hmmm maybe quite a collection of house mouse stamps and I have some super cute halloween images so here is my favourite.....it's Monica Mouse.

This is about as CAS as I can get, it's only one layer and a base for me that's CAS and there is a lot of  "white" space but since the sketch was from Sketch Saturday which had ended.  I kept it pretty close to the sketch.

Close up of Monica, since I finished this at home I didn't take my fussy cutting scissors with me so there is a bit of touch up to be done on the image before it goes in the mail

The sentiment is computer generated from free sentiment site. I added the bat washi tape to it for interest and just because I wanted to. lol.

Since this is the time for lots of "orange" or halloween challenges I am entering these ones.
