Today is a double-dip post. The first part of the post is dedicated to Sketch Saturday. Alex is the creator of sketch #310 and it was a fun one to work with! Bunny Zoe's Crafts is sponsoring this week's challenge.
The second part of my post is to announce I am thrilled to be a guest DT member for a company called the Paper Trail Canada. Chelsea, the owner, is wonderful to work with and dedicated to carrying good products, great prices and customer service. I used the Gorjuss Girls "Collector" stamp, available in the "Pre Order Shop"section of the Paper Trail. I love this stamp. The hair has lines showing where the shading and highlights go. I didn't have to experiment with a whole page of trial and error images as I typically do! I'd buy another image in a heartbeat, too. These girls are cuties! I used a PTI set to create little flowers on her shirt and added some shading to the punched-flower embellishments.
As part of the talented Paper Trail crew, I am super-excited to be working again with Marilyn Scheller of One Stamping Fool - a talented, fabulous card-maker I had fun getting to know when she was my guest DT member for Sketch Saturday earlier this year. Take a look at this new company (especially if you live in Canada), their Paper Trail Blog, and follow The Paper Trail on Facebook.Challenges Entered:

Fab card Cathy and I love, love, love how you did this sketch. Gorgeous colouring on that dark hair and I think it looks terrific. Black is one of the hardest hair colours to pull off but you did it and with style and zing! I just love the impact those two little yellow flowers give this piece.
