Sketch Saturday Challenge #278

There is a new sketch today at Sketch Saturday.  We have a classic sketch layout this week.  I thought Mabelle's "Blessed Harvest"  would be perfect.  I paired the MRO image with Simple Stories "Harvest Lane".

Here is Sketch #278 (designed by Jen):

Little Miss Muffet: Happy Mail

Hi All,

It is Thursday once again and there is a new Challenge at Little Miss Muffet - "We Wish You a Merry Christmas".  Are you ready to get out your Christmas images??  The challenge runs 2 weeks.

This is an image from Pollycraft called Happy Mail.  I love getting Christmas cards.  I've had this image for awhile, so it was nice to color her up and make a card.  The papers are from my stash - Basic Grey "Jovial".  I found this paper pad on clearance a few years ago.
The image was printed twice.  I colored the girl on one and cut her out.  On the other image I colored the mailbox and background, then add the girl image with pop dots.  The snow was painted with Copic opaque white.

Supplies --

Happy Monday!

Today, I'm a guest designer at Love to Create.  There is a color challenge this week and 2 sponsors QKR Stampede and Wing and Willows.

I chose a digital image from QKR Stampede called Pumpkin Vine.  Thought it would be perfect for this color challenge.  

Here is the color inspiration picture:

Here is my card:
I did add some green which is in the picture but not the color bars.  Hopefully that is OK.
