PWC131 - A Preview and Some Challenges!

Happy Wednesday! Are you ready for the Prettie Wednesday Challenge?! I bet you are!  If you play along with us you could WIN!   Check out the Paper Pretties Blog for all the details!

For this week's challenge (keyword: PWC131) it's time to PUNCH IT!  Yep, yep, we want to see punches used on projects this week.  I think I might have a couple of those around my stamp room...  ha!  Be sure to link up on the Paper Pretties Blog to enter.  It's preview week as well, so here is my contribution using one of our SEVEN new sets being released on Friday (that's THIS FRIDAY) - Love Birds.  Can I say again this month how much I LOVE Victoria Case as an illustrator?  Her animals are the cuuuuuuuuuuutest!  These two are no exception:

I stamped my love birds with Memento Tuxedo Black onto PTI white.  Colored with Copic markers.  Patterned paper is from my stash.  Velvet ribbon on the side panel.  Punches are the border along the side (red panel) and the rose leaves.  Pearls in the corner to finish it off.

I added in some other challenges today too.  The colors are from the ColourQ (CQC62), and the sketch is this week's Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge (MTSC103).  Here are the graphics (you can see I rotated the sketch):

Thanks for stopping by today!  Don't forget to head over to the Paper Pretties Blog for a full list of the day's eye candy and all the challenge (and PRIZE) details!  You link up THERE for your chance to win!  And then be back here tomorrow for the final day of December previews....and join us this FRIDAY at 5 AM EST for our "Kickin' Off Another Fabulous Release Day" blog hop!
