Have you checked out the monthly Sketch Challenge at SNS? My dear Stampin' Sistah Barbara Bruder has created the sketches and longs to award prizes to participants! This is a new SNS feature, so that is why I share the info. Just visit the SNS blog and click on the Challenge tab to find all the details.Above is my contribution to the SNS challenge, using the brand new Wine Tableau stamp set! Just click on the images to see details.
It's a gorgeous stamp set which also has a coordinating stampette set. Lovely sayings made it impossible to choose just one for my card, so I slightly altered the oval triplet aspect of the sketch to rectangles, accommodating as many of the sayings as possible.Stunning and easy to color, these images avail themselves to any coloring medium! Are you wondering why the background of the image seems muted? It's stamped on kraft cardstock, outlined with white Prismacolor pencil.
This time I used yet another neglected art supply. High on the top shelf the Derwent Water Color Pencils were "whining" (sorry, couldn't resist the play on words). Popped open the large tin of beautiful colors, and decided to make things easy by using a blender pen instead of water.
The image is heat embossed with the brand new Cerulean embossing powder being unveiled with the vibrant Shades and Stars of Tuscany EPs.
A strip of ribbon is shown on each panel - one with a strip of Tear-ific Tape holding Navy Glitter. Clear EP has been applied to the cheese knife, wine glass, vase and wine bottle.
Also shown in this card is a brand new Christmas goodie sent by my Stampin' Sistah Barbara -- Creatopia by Xyron -- Spellbinders exclusive badge nesting dies! At a loss for how to use these dies, it seemed the perfect fit for the new SNS stamp! (Thank you, Barbara!)

Donna this is just gorgeous and I love the shape you used to cut out the scene, it definitely looks like an arched window from a winery. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!

Donna, What a fabulouso card. I really like the soft coloring with the water color pencils. I like the way you used the badge die to create the window in the French farm house. I have visited that winery. The kraft paper back ground, superb!
Your card is beautiful! What a wonderful job on that image... Happy New Year!
Such incredible coloring, Donna! Perfect use of pencil. Wonderful dp, too. I've had no time to do anything for the SnS sketch challenge this month and am nearly out of time. I guess I'll have to save it for January. I really needed a break to just do family for the holidays. But I have new stamp sets from SnS for next challenge so that'll inspire me. :-D

Another great card.. Your coloring is fabulous too. Almost makes me want a glass of wine - LOL - if only I drank. Loved how you used the die to make the arched window - clever idea.
