TSOT #694 "Hello"

This is my Design Team project for Try a Sketch on Tuesday (TSOT) Sketch #694 and combining it with our Sister Challenge, Double Trouble # 3-2-1 Recipe "A Special Day" (3-layers card base does not count, 2-Shapes and/or Images, and 1-stenciled and/or dry embossing technique.





Recently I attended a Hero Arts Friendship Stamp Along and one of the cards had a stamping technique that made the stamps appear as embossed. Click here for instruction for this technique Hero Arts Friendship Stamp Along: Class #3 with Kelly Taylor

Please hop on over to Try a Sketch On Tuesday, check out the Design Team's inspiration for this sketch and share your creativity... hope to see you there.

You may want to hop on over to our sister challenge, Double Trouble to see if you have already met their 3-2-1 Recipe ingredients. If you have, you can enter the challenge and be eligible for random drawing chances... or maybe you just have to add an ingredient to meet the requirement. Hope to see you there.
