The Pixie Cottage Challenge #28 - Guest Sketch and time to Double Up!


First let me say that the winners for Challenge #27 will be announced next week after I get back from vacation.
It's time for another Once Upon A Wednesday and another sketch from our fabulous Special Guest Sketcher Jay Jay!



She also made this stunning card to go with the sketch using Dock stamp by Sandra Hammer




Along with the sketch we have the added option of "Double Up" where we'd like to see you use two stamps on the card (one can be a sentiment)
You don't have to use a Pixie Cottage Stamp to enter but if you do have why not try it out!
Remember you can use the sketch, the theme or both and can combine our challenge with any others you like!

Now this challenge will be running for 2 weeks instead of one as The Pixies need a little break and so it's vacation time, time to sit back with a Margarita or two and feel the sand between our toes.
So you have no excuse not to join in as you have two weeks to get your card completed and linked for us to see!

One randomly picked winner will get their choice of 2 Pixie Cottage Stamps and the Design Teams Top Three entries will get to display the winners badge on their blog.
Winners will be announced on the Friday following the end of the challenge.

Our guest designer for both July and August is Lisa and she has started us off with this wonderful card!

We also have another guest for July and that is the super talented Tracy and she has this super creation for us! It is her last and it has been an absolute pleasure having her create with our stamps!
