Hello

 

Happy Friday & Happy Easter Weekend!!

Once again I have found a fabulous fun sketch challenge to join in on.  I'm talking about the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog.  This is a new challenge blog to me and I'm sure I will be visiting often.  Here's today's sketch....

 

 This was so much fun to create and it can be used for a variety of occasions ... or ... Just Because!!  I've used the following:

Poppystamps 'Grand Madison Window'

 

Jeanine's Art 'Home Sweet Home' (cat)

 Jeanine's Art - Dies - Art of Living - Home Sweet Home

 ** Had I thought about using a cat earlier, I could have used this entire die set! **

Frantic Stamper 'Brush Script' Hello

 


For the background, I used the Tim Holtz 'Stone Layering Stencil' with TH Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink and a large sponge dauber. 

Tim Holtz - Stencil - Stone

 Distress Ink Pad - Walnut Stain

 Prima flowers were used and I've used Yellow Nuvo Crystal Drops for the flower centers.  The cat and butterfly were last minute ideas but I love how it finishes out the scene!

Challenges to share in:

Double Trouble Challenge #80 - 'Something, Anything, Everything' - Partnered with Atlantic Hearts Sketch
Cut It Up Challenge #222 - Spring Flowers and/or Butterflies
