For this weeks sketch challenge card I used the Sheltering Tree stamp set from Stampin’ Up! It is such a pretty and versatile set and has lots of matching images to change it up for several occasions.
I used the patterned paper from the sweet dreams paper pack and created a sky background with a ripped piece of paper and a sponge dauber and soft sky ink.
Here is the sketch which inspired me, I rotated the sketch by 90 degrees –

I have so much to tell you about my trip to the Netherlands and also to Orlando for the Stampin’ Up! leadership event but that will have to wait a day or two as not only am I jet lagged I also had a tooth out today so am a little tender 🙂 Lots of happy memories to share though to tune in over the next few days to see what I got up to!
I am one of Patricia Duffys friends and I received one of her gorgeous cards using the stamps that I then just had to order. Hugs Rita xxx
Oh, this is so soft and pretty Michelle! I love the colors and your sponged sky behind the tree is perfect!
