This card should have been titled "Under Pressure!" I was stunned last week when I saw that this card was chosen for the top 30 in the 2S4Y Ultimate Showdown! I mean really, the MOST talented papercrafters on the planet participate in the 2S4Y challenges, so I had barely skimmed the details on how the contest worked, doh! Then I learn the top 30 have to (I should probably say "get to"!) make another card using a special sketch to be narrowed down to the top 20. Yikes! See what I mean, pressure?! And I'm a major Last Minute Lucy!
Anyway, I loved the sketch, but could think of nothing to do all week. Usually if I think about the sketch as I go to sleep, I'll get a great idea. Not this week! lol! Luckily, my new Scarlet Lime kit came yesterday and it had that adorable blue and cream polka dot paper in it, and it was an "Aha! a 4th of July card!" moment. I dug through some other kits and found the Jenni Bowlin Soda Water paper and "Home" Bingo card, and then it just kind of fell together. Schwooo!
Anywhooo, a big thank you to Laura and Kazan and the past and present design team for such a great opportunity. I've been playing with 2S4Y from their very beginning, they really are the most fantastic sketches and artwork on the web, so whenever you need inspiration or challenges, go check them out!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!
