Sketch Saturday Challenge #282

Happy Saturday!

There is a new sketch challenge at Sketch Saturday.  Our sponsor is Stamp Fairy and the prize this week is $10 gift certificate.

Here is Sketch #282 (designed by Jen):

I used a Stamp Fairy image today - Barry Fly Away.  I thought it would be perfect with a new Doodlebug paper Happy Harvest.  Love the aerial view of the town.

I saw this cloud background technique on a blog using Taylored Expressions Cloud Border as a stencil for clouds.  Brilliant!  It really worked great.  You can use ink and a sponge.  I dug out my Copic air brush system and BG01 Copic marker. First time I've actually used it on a card - Finally!

Mabelle RO Release - Snowy

Hi All,

Mabelle has a second release this month at Whimsy & Stars.  This is Snowy available in her etsy shop today.  A fun one for sure.

I created a snowy scene by cutting out the images separately and using the white scraps a snow.  Added some fluff to the snowbanks and flock to the image where there is furry trim.

I used the current Sketch Saturday sketch for the layout.
