Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge #144

Yahoo!!  It's Friday and not only is it time for another fabulous sketch challenge, but we have two new members joining the sketch crew!  I ♥ both of these talented ladies.  And I'm sure you will recognize both of these gals - Cassie Trask & Margie Cortina.   Welcome ladies!!

 

I couldn't resist using my new Moka Taylor for today's sketch.   As most of you know, I've been on vacation this week and as luck would have it, I got sick on Sunday.  Not just a little sick.  A LOT!  So much so, that I shared it with my DH.  Good news is, it didn't stick around very long.  In fact, it was shortly after I made my card that I noticed a marked improvement.

Could it be coincidence?  I think not.  It proves what I've always known - STAMPING IS THERAPY!!

 
As you can see I turned Lisa's lovely sketch on it's side to work for my image.  See guys, you can think outside the box with sketches!!  LOL!   I kept pretty true to the sketch otherwise.  I made my own flower using my blossom & circle nestabilites.  I did a tutorial on it awhile back.  If you want to check it out, click >>HERE<<.

What do you have to do to play along?  Check out the details on Taylor's blog or the TE forum on SCS.

You are NOT required to use TE stamps to play, but there’s a bonus prize available if you do!  Share your creations with us in the Splitcoaststampers gallery using keywords:  tayloredexpressions, TESC144 (be sure to use a comma and then a space between each of the keywords as shown).

What a cute card Tracy! I love the Moka stamps, too. And I think you did a spectacular interpretation of the sketch! :)

So glad to hear you're feeling better... I don't think it's coincidence at all! ;)
