My card for today's sketch challenge combined with the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Hump Day challenge to use stitching, faux or real - details can be found HERE if you'd like to play along! I stitched the top panel and popped it up,
then used post-it-notes and a Papertrey Ink cloud die-cut to sponge the scene before adding the branch and bird. The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Everyday Miracles set.
Also playing along with the Central Theme this month - Let The Sun Shine In!
More on my blog.

This is such a pretty scene Bridget!! I love how you totally made this your own and didn't make an obvious sketch pattern. Your sponging is perfect - so soft and flawless.
Once again you have made a fabulous card based on today' sketch challenge. You never disappoint me.

What a nice take on this sc, Bridgett! It's called Thinking outside the box! Good for you. I just love your created sky and beautiful mountains, and your bird looks great against the sun bg! Now this is more your style of colors~

Oh, I'd swap even clouds like that with sunshine for the grey sky and pouring rain we've had today. I like your green foreground, too. At least we've got that .
