Playing on Saturday

I took some time today to join in some fun challenges.  First off, Inkspirational #53; CASE Sandie.  Sandie is on a couple of my DT's, a fabulous stamper that I wanted to support.
I popped over to her Flickr account [I love that you can just see cards and not have to search for them] -- and I found THIS CARD.

I used STAMPlorations images from Trendy Feathers and Graphic Pentagons.

I also found a semi new sketch site - Wanna Sketch #14 and I joined in Cure for the Monday Blues #10.

 Had to play with this inspiration - aqua and orange oh yeah!  Super fun sketch too!
After making this card, I have decided I really need a good clear damask stamp.  Out of all the stamps I have [oh good heavens!] I do not have a damask!  How crazy is that!  Can any of you recommend a company who has a good one?
I used a cut apart image from GKD, Garden Silhouette, along with a sentiment from Hero Arts, Thank you for Being My Friend.

That's it for my Saturday.  As usual, I had a great time!  Thanks challenges for being there.


Thanks for stopping by~
