StampTV Sketch Challenge Hostess

I am so excited to be hostessing the sketch challenge this week over on StampTV!! You can get all the details here. (You'll note that I had a little problem with the file upload, but you'll find the design in a posted comment when you scroll down the page. I hope to have this fixed later.) OR, you can check out my sample card here:

I colored the images with Copic markers. I love these babies---especially for blending various colors. I use to get so frustrated with watercoloring various fall colors onto leaves as watercoloring just wasn't as vivid or didn't blend well. I sponged my sky using a dauber and post-it note cloud template. I also sponged True Thyme lightly around the ground area so as to tone down the white of the cardstock for blending in with the colors of fall.

I hope you can stop into StampTV and play. You have until next Wednesday, September 23, at 9:00 p.m. CST to upload your creation to StampTV. Your name will go into a drawing to receive a free Gina K. Designs stamp set (a $24.95 value!!)!!! Gina is so generous in that she gives a free stamp set for every challenge posted every week; that's a lot of stamp sets that she gives away!! And, if you're not a member of StampTV, it's easy to sign up and become one. Membership is free!! Here's a link to their main page.

And, no, I was not asked to give this plug for StampTV. I just love the community of people there, the challenges, the forums, the magazines, the stamps/products, Gina's weekly video tutorials.....everything...and I want you to know about it, too!
