Super Sunday thanks and wine label


Happy Sunday!  It's time for another 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday.  I used the clear blocking technique to add the background.  I was inspired by Lucy's Cards Inspiration Day #1.  And since I've added a little twine to the card I'm going to enter it in the Ribbon Carousel "Anything Goes" challenge.


Next up, another wine label!  For those of you who follow my blog you'll know that I'm a bit behind on my order to make a dozen wine labels.  Oops.  


And being challenge happy girl, I've used this week's ColourQ colors and the Unity Sketch Challenge. I pulled out the 2011 KOTM  Small Things matter most and I can't believe I hadn't inked any of the stamps I used on this label...  And since last Sunday I posted about a giveaway on my work Facebook page, I'm happy to report that the giveaway is still going... if you win the gift certificate for the bottle of wine you can always give it to me, I'll send you a pretty wine label as a thank you :)

Love them both. Particularly like the color block background on the first! I hope I win, then you can bring the bottle to me- perhaps I'll share ;)

Look at you, challenge-happy girl!! Love the very artsy look of your thanks card, and that wine label is so fun! That one is what # out of 12? Seems like you should be getting close!
