And that would be Tara Macfarlane, with this comment:

“What great blog candy! Thank you for the chance! I have to say I love making the Square cards with layers as it gives me lots of room. Most important to me is that everything is layered straight. I received lots of cards where time was taking to make sure stuff is straight, its kind of disappointing, all that work.”

Congrats, Tara, on winning the Making Memories Blog Candy. Email me your address and I’ll get the box off to you right away!!!

Many thanks to all who played — much appreciated!!!

I made thiscard for Natasha’s Dare to Get Dirty 08 Sketch Challenge today over at SCS. She came up with a great sketch and I thought the Stamp Simply Thank You set would work perfectly with it. Here it is:

I followed Natasha’s sketch pretty much to a T, but due to the size of my main image I didn’t have room for my sentiment as suggested, so had to make some adaptations — where there’s a will, there’s a way — LOL!!! My tulip was stamped first. I then stamped it again on some Eclipse Masking Tape, cut it out for my mask (works great becauseit has a wonderful low tack adhesiveto the entire mask),covered my tulip with the mask, then stamped the scripted background which is included in the same set,pulled up my mask, then colored my tulip with Copics. I punched 2 holes in the main image panel, through which the ribbon was pulled up.

Card making is so easy when you follow a sketch — you only need to determine your images, colors, etc. — give this great sketch by Natashaa try!!!
