DT Cutie Pie: Easel with a sketch and some news

Hi there it is monday again and it has been 2 weeks since our last challenge over at Cutie Pie. We had some lovely entries for our Monochromatic challenge, and if you played along and wonder if you are one of our lucky winners, you got to check it out here. 

The challenge this week is a lovely one as well as it is a Easel with a sketch challenge. You get to choose between an oval shaped or a circle shaped image for your sketch, but otherwise it is the same sketch although you got to make an easel card for this challenge. If you are wondering about how to make an easel card, I know one tutorial for it here (one of very many I guess). It is quite fun to make easel cards, so I think you better get started doing the cards peeps. Oh so you are wondering how the sketch looks like?? You better go check our challenge blog, and there you will find some more lovely inspiration too;)

We are having a DT CALL as well. So if you are interested in being a Cutie Pie you should write DT after your name when you link up your project for this challenge!!

I told you I got some news for you as well. Well the news is that I am stepping down from this DT after this challenge, so I am delivering my final card for this challenge in this post. It is a bit sad cause these girls are truly amazing to work alongside with and they are always backing you up no matter what. Love you girls:)) 

Now I've completely forgot to tell you about our lovely sponsors for this challenge. We have the lovely:

Hello! My name is Krista Smith.



I have been drawing and doodling my whole life...as far back as I can remember! Over the last year and a half, I have been selling it on Etsy. I was approached to draw stamps for Sugar Nellie, a stamp company based in Scotland. After designing only rubber for a year, I decided to branch out a bit into the digital world:). As an artist, I appreciate the versatility of digi's for the stamper. I also like releasing stamps that are a little more obscure or unique. Monsters, nerds with big glasses...even a mermaid:). Those ones are really fun for me to draw! After opening up my digi shop in the beginning of September, I've been busy filling orders:). I am really thrilled and very humbled that ladies are so receptive to my designs and seem to enjoy coloring them a lot! I am so inspired by these amazing colorists!! I have met so many wonderful, talented ladies through this business and look forward to building new friendships, too! My personal blog, Saturated Canary, is filled with bits of my family life, artwork, and a slight obsession with fashion;). I also run a new challenge/ inspiration blog, Saturated Canary Challenge with my amazing design team. I'd love to meet you and be inspired by your own creations! Do stop by and say hello!:)


Prize is 2 digi's from Krista's shop for the winner.
