For today's sketch challenge -- thanks for filling in, Amelia This is my first time playing with my new Inspired by nature. I'm not usually drawn to silhouette stamps but since that's the trend I guess I had better get with it! I'm enjoying them so far

ETA -- Details were requested about how I cut my circles with the "out of the box" technique. It was very fancy ;) I looked around my desk for something round in the size I wanted. I found that the spools of In Color ribbon (this year and last) are 4 inches. I traced the spool very lightly directly onto my image. Then I cut, making sure to cut around a few blades of grass sticking out of the drawn circle. My circle mats were made with a fiskars circle cutter set at 4 1/8" and 4 1/4". I love this cutter because I can make any size circle I want, but it isn't the smoothest cutter out there. Hope that makes sense

Very nicely done - for something you're not used to, you did a Bang Up job on this. Color choice is lovely and I like the way the image pops out of the circle. Great job!
