HLS Sketch Challenge - July 2015



Hello friends.  Playing along with a new challenge today (new to me anyway!) over at Happy Little Stampers.  This challenge is a sketch challenge, and this is what I came up with:



Just a clean and simple little card, but I like how it turned out!  I used an IO stamp (#E9249) for the tree, and colored it with a few Copics (E15, E37, YG03, & YG63).  I used some Mowed Lawn Distress ink and a blending tool for my grass, and a lt. blue gelato crayon for my background sky.  I framed it with a Memory Box Small Madison Window die, and then pop dotted it to raise it up just a bit.  The sentiment is from WPlus9 Hand Lettered Hello. 


If you'd like to play along, you can check out all the info and inspiration right here.   

Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do! :0)
