Guest DT Member.....

Happy Friday Everyone!
This has been a very crazy week for me! I do apologize for not posting daily.....I'll be back to doing that starting tomorrow!!!!

I have some exciting news for you all! I was asked to be a Guest Designer for the month of May for Shirley's 2 Girls!!!! You'll see my first official DT post next Thursday for the Twisted Sketch challenge. Speaking of next Thursday, we'll be doing something a bit different! Instead of a twisted sketch, we'll be doing a blog hop with the entire team!!! You don't want to miss out any of the fun stuff so make sure you *check* in next Thursday!!!!!!

Now, onto my card for today!! My post is for the Twisted Sketch and this week's twist was to add dimension----too easy!!!!! I also used the color challenge from SCS to use Real Red, Basic Black, Old Olive & Whisper White. I added a bit of texture to the old olive with my Big Shot, added dots around my scallops for a bit more interest & tied a bit of striped ribbon onto my white satin piece. I think that finished it!

I need to work on my Etsy card for tomorrow. We have a fun shop to oogle at so come back for your chance to win a nice prize!!!! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!
TTFN,
Hugs,

Supplies:

Dreams du Jour ss; Real Red, Basic Black, Old Olive & Whisper White cs; Old Olive & Craft White ink; Whisper White Satin & Real Red Striped Grosgrain Ribbon; Bold Brights Brads; Summer Picnic DSP; Big Shot; Texture Plate; Scallop #2 Die; Curly Label, Eyelet Border & Giga Scallop Circle Punches; SU!
