This week Lindsay&#8217;s Stamp Stuff is sponsoring the challenge blog <a href="http://tuesdaymorningsketches.blogspot.com/">Tuesday Morning Sketches</a> (our very own Melissa Craig is the hostess!) All of us gals on the LSS team used the sketch this week, I flipped the sketch and used it on the card on the right, I used paper from the <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/scrapbook/shabby-houndstooth-papers/prod_1753.html">Shabby Houndstooth kit</a> and stamps from the <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/digital-stamps/pretty-primative-digital-stamp-set/prod_1784.html">Pretty Primitive set</a>, both available from <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/lindsay-39-s-stamp-stuff/aff_100.html">Lindsay&#8217;s Stamp Stuff</a>:</p>

<p>I had so much fun making the first card (plus leftover <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/scrapbook/shabby-houndstooth-papers/prod_1753.html">houndstooth</a> paper and an stamps) do I made this one too. To give flower petals depth vary the colors slightly from petal to petal. The bird stamp is from the <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/digital-stamps/pretty-primative-digital-stamp-set/prod_1784.html">Pretty Primitive</a> set and the sentiment is from <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/digital-stamps/all-around-phrases-digital-stamp-set/prod_1374.html">All Around Phrases</a>.</p>

<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">A reminder about shopping:</span> If you shop at the <a href="http://www.shophandmade.com/store?store1=lindsay">Lindsay&#8217;s stamp Stuff Shophandmade store</a> you get a free single stamp for ever $5 you spend but you need to wait (not too long though) for me to email you your order, if you shop at the <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/lindsay-39-s-stamp-stuff/aff_100.html">LSS shop at MyGrafico</a> you get your stuff instantly but no free stamps with purchase. Due to the size of the houndstooth paper packs (too large to email) they will only be available at the <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/lindsay-39-s-stamp-stuff/aff_100.html">LSS shop at MyGrafico</a>. Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!</p>
