Double Dipping


Today I am double dipping and putting two SCS Challenges together - something a lot of people do all the time, but I usually just have enough of a time with one challenge!

Today I combined Color Challenge 223 with Sketch Challenge 233. Click on the photo to see a close-up.

I extended panel #4 to fit my image better. Stamps are from a new Flourishes release called Patriotism on Parade. I love patriotic stamps and this is a really cute set! Part of the proceeds from this set will go to the Wounded Warrior program. This project aims to honor and empower our soldiers:
  • To raise awareness and enlist the public's aid for the needs of severely injured service men and women
  • To help severely injured service members aid and assist eachother
  • To provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of severely injured service members.


Isn't that a great cause?! You can read more about it HERE.

I have also FINALLY found my favorite white cardstock base that is heavy enough and still stamps well. It's Papertrey Ink's Stamper’s Select White Cardstock. It has taken a lot of white paper samples to find the perfect cardstock base paper, but I think this is it! If you are looking for a nice weight for your card base, check it out!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Paper: PTI White, Ruby Red, Baja Breeze, Bella Rose DP
Ink: Ruby Red, Baja Breeze
Accessories: large and small oval punches, paper Cutter tool, striped grosgrain ribbon, Cuttlebug EF, buttons (Hero Arts)

  1. Thanks, Judy, for showing another wonderful sample card for the new Flourishes set. I'm so excited to get this one & see what I can do with it. I probably wouldn't have thought of light blue, but it looks terrific!
