Stampin Up Festive Birthday and Stamps of Life Pinata 2 layout for Sketches in Thyme

Good morning and welcome. I have created a layout today using this week's Sketches in Thyme's sketch #666 by Shawn Lahr. I really went all out on the fun fiesta theme! I used Stampin Up Festive Birthday DSP and Stamps of Life Pinata 2 stamp and die set. I also die cut the fringe strip with a die.

Here is the sketch. You can play along with this week's sketch HERE

Die cutting and paper piecing is one of my favorite techniques. I created the pinata pieces from many different papers and topped them off with gems.

Here's the taco I colored with alcohol inks.

Ingredients:

Stampin Up Festive Birthday DSP

Stampin Up Sunny Day Iridescent dots

Stamps of Life Pinata 2 stamps and dies

Ranger Adirondack Latte ink

assorted card stock

alcohol markers (taco)

sticker letters

Welcome to my final installment as April's Guest Designer for Double Trouble Challenge #165 "SomeThing, AnyThing, EveryThing". This Challenge runs from Monday, April 29th thru Sunday, May 4th. The Twisted Sister twist is to use an image from the prompt which celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I searched my stash and found this adorable pinata set from Stamps of Life.

Here is the prompt for Challenge #165 for more details and to enter follow the link.

I used several dies for this project besides the Stamps of Life Pinata set, I used a Catherine Pooler slimline die. I actually cut the inside to create a frame.

I chose to use an Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge sketch for the Double Dare.

I purchased the set second hand. I was thrilled to learn the odd die included with the set was the bonus fringe die! My new favorite. It just made this card. Apparently SOL sell a larger version independently but this one was a mini included with the monthly subscription.
