Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge: July 27-August 2 Designer Drafts challenge

by Kylie

Hi Everyone,

When I saw the sketch for the new Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge I had a few ideas run through my head – yay! Always a good start, right? lol

I had the urge to create a scene like the olden days using the adorable “Cuteasaurus” set. Gosh I love this set. I wish there were more scene building stamps to go with it – different sized rocks, some grasses, a couple more trees, etc, and then I would be a super happy girl. 🙂

I’ve a couple more ideas for this sketch – looking through windows at scenes as well as a couple of streetscapes so, depending on how things go, I might try and create a couple more cards. It’s just such a great sketch. I think it could easily become a go-to design.

Oh, I also made another card based on this sketch (in fact, I made it before the one I am submitting for the challenge) but I thought it might be a bit busy.

Here ’tis…

Queen of the Scene, my dear Kylie – and these two are yet more evidence of your incredible talent at creating scenes that are beyond awesome! Not only is the T-Rex lumbering through the trees totally darling (T-Rex and darling…hmmmm), but the pattern of eggs/bones is such a special touch! Seriously, the PS people need you on their team, because you know how to work their stamps to the max! Again, your colouring has me, as Darnell would say, aswooin with its spectacularness!! Wow x a zillion!

Sooo cute, Kylie! After looking at your sweet scene, I noticed the green cardstock all stamped up with eggs and bones. That’s a great detail. The little pink heart and bird are great color balancers too. I think I need to steal one of Geri G.’s sayings…”winner, winner, chicken dinner!!!” Score big time with this card, Kylie. LOVE it!! Have an amazing weekend, and I’m hoping for more creations by you popping up in my right side bar!!

Ooh, this is such a unique take on the sketch! You *really* rocked this one, and the cute dino was the perfect stamp to use. I just love how he’s sitting on that rock in the green card. I can almost imagine him drinking a cup of tea (weird, I know, but my mind gets kind of odd sometimes lol).

I’ve got my fingers crossed and hope you win! Your lovely card certainly deserves the winning spot. 😀

Thanks, Elle! I love it when you volunteer what you think the little critters might be thinking/doing. It’s so fun! 🙂 And I so appreciate your kind thoughts re the challenge. Think I have run out of time to try the other couple of designs…well, for entering in the challenge. lol
