Sketch Simply??

Are you ready to Stamp Simply? Sharon has a fun and very simple sketch for us this week. Here's what she says:

July 16 - ssnotime148 - A CAS Sketch - Today we are offering a Clean and Simple Sketch for you to follow. I love to see the different looks achieved by using the same basic sketch -- and that said, you can go CAS if you prefer OR you can dress up this basic sketch as much as you like! It'll be fun to see the variances!

Here's the sketch:

And here's my card.

This is a sketch that can be interpreted in lots of ways--I chose to go CAS and I broke the top element into four images. My base card is Kraft. The first element is Hawaiian Shores card stock with a layer of Dotty Biscotti paper. I stamped the three birds from Take Three - Summer in Hawaiian Shores ink on Kraft and cut them out with Classic Square Nestabilities, then popped them up on Pop Dots. The sentiment was stamped with Dark Chocolate ink. Finally, I added some Hawaiian Shores buttons tied with Rustic Twine and a Hawaiian Shores twill bow. Stamped very simply and I like it :)

So, now it's your turn. Come along and play and take us up on the challenge--we'd love to see what you come up with. If you do, be sure to leave the link to your project on Sharon's blog using Mr. Linky. Please use the keyword ssnotime148 if you upload to a public forum. And don't forget to check out Sharon's fabulous sample and also the great designs from the Stamp Simply team and leave 'em some love!
