An Alota Sketch Challenge!

Hi everyone,

Yes it is me again … it sure has been busy around here today LOL! Of course the 1st of the month means that it is challenge time over on the Alota Rubber Stamps blog. Our challenge hostess this week is Birgit Edblom. Birgit has a wonderful sketch challenge for us all to play along with.

Want to play along???? you can use any stamps you want, although if you have Alota Rubber Stamps we would love to see them on your cards.

You have until the 15th March (11.59 pm US Pacific time) to complete this challenge, you can enter as many entries as you wish for a better chance of winning!!! You have a chance of winning some wonderful stamps if you card/project is selected randomly from all the entries received.

I had so much fun with this sketch that I couldn’t stop at just the one card! For my first card I used Alota’s new “Lucky Leprechaun Man” & “Lucky Lucky Lucky Sentiment”, just perfect for those St Patrick’s Day cards which is just around the corner. I did flip the sketch to suit the layout of my image I wanted to use.

Here is the inside of my card, for this I used Alota’s “Pot of Gold” & “Irish You Sentiment”.

For my second card I used one of the cute Bunny Babies and sentiments from the new “Bunny Babies Unmounted Plate”, these are just sooooooo adorable! Again I flipped the sketch, but in a different direction to the first card I created.

Here is the inside of my card, using the sentiment included in the unmounted plate I used on the front of my card. Of course I just had to get that bunny border onto my card somewhere too hehe!
