VICTORIAN 4th / Deconstructed Sketch Vacation Blog Hop...


It's a Deconstructed Sketch Vacation Blog Hop! Jen is on vacation this week so she thought it would be fun to mix things up a bit this week and have a blog hop. And you know what a blog hop means... that's right PRIZES!! For this blog hop there will be TWO prizes, one for one very lucky commenter and one for one very lucky randomly drawn participant in the sketch challenge.

So what do you need to do? Well, hop around to all the design team blogs and leave a comment. The list is below so you can hop in your own order. Very easy! Second, take a look at the sketch and make a project using the sketch as creative inspiration, post it online (blog or gallery) and link it back to the InLinkz on Jen's blog. Again, very easy!! On June 27th, 2011 Jen will announce the winner of the comment prize on her blog. The winner of the sketch participation prize will be announced on June 30th along with the next sketch.

So what are the prizes? Well Jen has kept that a secret so you will need to take a trip to her blog to find out what the prizes will be! But they are sure to be BIG!

Deconstructed Sketch Vacation Blog Hop List:
Thanks so much for hopping with us today!

The image is a new one from the Wax Fruit Company, called Victorian 4th. I'll have the new image up in the shop later today. I decided to leave the image plain and just color the flag. I used a white gel pen to color the stars.



Have fun hopping!!!

    This is SO very lovely! We fly the flag every day of the year as my husband is a Vietnam veteran and we support our troops 100%. LOVE the cottage charm of this stamp and making the flag the color focal point - genius!

    Great concept for this card and image. The flag really pops this way and cements the 4th of July theme. Clever idea with the gel pen, it would be easy to cover over those stars with the blue I bet.

    Wow, I really like how unique the image is! You did a great job coloring in that flag; I like that it's the central point of the card. I also like the addition of the bling for some extra pop!
