A Sketch Challenge at Sassy Cheryls

You know I love a sketch challenge, and this week that's exactly what they have going at the Sassy Cheryls Challenge Blog thanks to the Sassy Ms Jackie. Here's her sketch for the challenge.

Isn't this a great sketch?

So this week for those of you that don't know, I'm in the great state of Washington spending some time with two of my Sassy friends, Ms Judy and Ms Anna. I'm at Judy's until Tuesday,  then moving onto Anna's. Yesterday Anna came up to craft with us, and Judy cracked her whip and had us working on our challenge cards.

Anna and I cheated a bit. Instead of cutting out 9 squares and trying to space them evenly and straight, we created a window that overlays over the printed paper. The DP papers are from The Sasha Paper Collection by Prima Marketing Inc. The solid papers are some that Judy says she bought in bulk from Cosco.

The images were merged using the Silhouette software(that was the first thing Judy wanted to know how to do on the Silhouette). On a side note, I should warn all of you that I've created a merge monster. The images I used for this card are called Sassy Sally and Her Over sized Birthday Cake  merged over the Beauty in the Making Notes stamp set. Everything is colored with PrismaColor Pencils and Faber-Castell pencils.

You all cannot imagine how much fun it was to create this card with two dear friends. It's Sunday afternoon, so there's still time for you to get your challenge card made and entered as the challenge doesn't end until Monday afternoon at 5 p.m. EST.

    FAB-U-LOUS!!!! You should never have told us you cheated on the squares because I would never have known. I am so glad Judy is having fun with her Cameo and that you are able to teach her more stuff. I just wish I had more time to spend with mine and could get at the calibrating - one of these days.
    Hugs!

    Hey! It's not "cheating"...I thought my idea of using perspective/optical illusion was pretty clever. And a lot less aggravating than gluing down tiny squares.
    It was lots of fun yesterday...despite my crafting frustration at times.

    Wish I would have thought of your idea Shirley and Anna! It would have been much easier then trying to glue those little squares all matching up.
    Darling card Shirley~ Maybe you teach us that one at scamp...
