That's the Spirit

The challenges I post every Sunday morning have pretty specific criteria. I do this on purpose, because I love to see how creative stampers can be in circumstances where the major components have been assigned. Btu just because you don't have a particular stamp set or color does not mean you cannot play -- go ahead and choose a suitable substitute and I'll post a link to your card just as thought you followed the rules to a tee. That's what Marie did this week. She didn't have the pretty princess set so she chose Fairy Nice, a retired Stampin' Up! set.

As always, Marie's card is super cute. One of the coolest things which is easy to miss if you don;t read her explanation is her use of a white mat behind an image stamped on white card stock. The white mat helps create a faux dry-embossed look. Very neat! Here is the link to Marie's card - take a look and let her know what you think by leaving a comment: http://marielovestostamp.blogspot.com/2007/06/dianes-sunday-sketch-challenge-card.html
