STAMPlorations Theme & Sketch Challenge #39 mid-month reminder

Hello and good morning crafty peeps!
I'm popping in today with my reminder post for the

 (Our definition of Mixed Media: using stamps and ink + at least two other elements
(techniques and/or products))



You can choose the theme, or the sketch, or both!
I went with both again:


 Here's the inside:

I started by die cutting the CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting die from water color paper. I painted yellow acrylic paint on it. While that was drying, I stamped, colored and fussy cut the Tropical Drink. When the panel was dry, I used the ARTplorations Gridlocked stencil and sponged orange and red inks over it. I spritzed some black ink onto the panel and once that dried, I stamped the sentiment from Fond Expressions 2. On the inside of my card, I cut another panel and stamped Happy Birthday from the Balloons and Banners stamp set.

I hope that you get to play along this month at the STAMPlorations January Theme & Sketch Challenge! You have until January 31st to link up. I hope to see your project in the gallery!

adding pinterest script 3. Changing the Position of the Pin it! button The cool thing about this code is that you have some freedom over where the Pinterest button for Blogger will go over the image. Take a look at the code that you just copied and pasted into the HTML for the word 'center'.
