For your chance to win BLOG CANDY, (a set that will be released NEXT month), visit and comment on each of the following design team members' blogs on August 10, 11, 12, and 13, 2010. On Saturday, (August 14, 2010), a winner will be chosen FOR EACH DAY from those participants who visited all the blogs listed for that day. (There will be four different winners, one winner for each day.)

THAT MEANS IF YOU MISSED A DAY, YOU STILL HAVE OTHER CHANCES WIN! And, you can go back and comment on each day's blogs, as the winners will be chosen Saturday morning!

Today we are featuring the "Regal and Proud" stamp set.

For my card, I created an outodoor scene featuring Speedy the Cat.  I stamped the tree, bird, and Speedy, then sponged the scene with Tim Holtz Distress inks. I drew a silver collar onto Speedy.  I stamped the sentiment "Soar with the Eagles" on the lower corner of the card, however it doesn't show up well in the photo.  The papers used are Speedy the Cat Black from Mark's Finest Papers and patterned paper by Basic Grey.  I completed the card by adding swirling pearls and a black ribbon.  The stamps, distress inks, and ribbon are available at Mark's Finest Papers.
