Sentimental Sundays #56 - Single Layer

Welcome back for a new challenge with Sentimental Sundays.  This is challenge #56, and the theme this week is:  Single Layer (with a sentiment!)

I've used a cute dollar stamp from Studio112 (which is actually K and Company).  There's a bit of Glossy Accents on the hat sash (if that's what it's called?), and it's been colored with copics.  The ribbon came from packaging, and the pearls are also from Studio112.  This week's challenge is sponsored by Heart Song Designs.  Be sure to check for Ann's free set of fabulous sentiments on the Sentimental Sundays blog too!   

Be sure to use a sentiment somewhere on your card or project, and to follow the theme however you may interpret it.  While Ann (Raindrop Echo Designs) offers fabulous freebies, and also sells a wide variety of sentiment stamps at Whimsy Stamps, you are free to use any sentiment.  Be sure to link up on the Sentimental Sundays blog before the next challenge to be in the running for a fabulous prize, and use a direct link to make it easy for us to find your new card or project.

Stamping Bella Weekend

I've started off this year hoping to ink up more of the stamps I have here, so that eventually they will all be used. When Danni mentioned wanting to do a Stamping Bella weekend, and asked if I'd like to join in, I jumped on the opportunity. So my first choice for this fun stamping weekend was Meredith, one of the adorable Teacup Girls. I chose to use this week's lovely sketch from Creative Inspirations, and the wonderful colors for Color Throwdown. I also used a touch of Shimmerz while coloring the image, which I can see will quickly become an addiction. Thanks so much Danni, I'm happy you introduced me to them!

What I Used:
Stamps: Meredith the Teacup Girl from Stamping Bella, Sentiment by Stamping Bella
