Once again, it’s time for the Lizzie Anne Designs Monthly Mix Blog Hop.  This is an exciting week over at Lizzie Anne Designs!  They are celebrating their anniversary with a sale any sane rubber stamper won’t want to miss!

Wait a minute… who said rubber stampers were sane in the first place?  LOL  Just joking around.  But I know a few of my family members would probably question my own sanity at times. 

Anyway… 

Today’s card uses stamps from the July Monthly Mix, “Simply Sweet”.   I colored the image with Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits, which is a technique I haven’t done for a long time.  The color scheme is based on this week’s color challenge at Splitcoaststampers but I had to make a couple small modifications to it.  I used an old Stampin’ Up background stamp on the blue cardstock to keep it from looking so plain. The layout is this week’s Lizzie Anne Designs sketch challenge.
