Challenge #140 – Moody Skies
Good morning, today it is my turn to host my first sketch challenge (#140) of 2013 over at
SUNDAY SKETCH & STAMP
Like most us crafters I had some new goodies under the christmas tree, so today I set myself the extra challenge of seeing how many of my new Spellbinder dies I could incorporate onto one card ….LOL!
I managed 3….not bad going I would say….hehe!
I had a great time playing with my distress inks and make up sponges, creating the background in which the cottage is sitting…….though i think more ink ended up on my fingers than anywhere else. But I managed to get a real moody feel to the sky, a scene I see on a very regular basis from my craft room window!
