For the past year I have follwed all the mixed media challenges. My new years resolution was to stop watching from the sidelines and join in. Lydia thank you for a fun challenge and for introducing me to Bob Ross.
I tried using white paint on white cardstock to make my clouds....hmm like that was ever going to work. With the Bob Ross tune firmly stuck in my head I remembered his famous words....happy mistake, so I plodded on.
This is so different from anything I have ever done - no paper piecing or fussy cutting, but I loved every minute.
Thank you for looking.

Oh how darling...I love Bob Ross. He makes painting look so much easier and fun, but too his soft calm personality. You did a fantastic job here, and was going to tease you about the cutting and stuff like in the t-pot challenges....she here is a sweety and glad you had fun here and joined us...TFS..:0)

What a wonderful image to set in your happy cloudy sky, Susie.
Yeah, no paper piecing or fussy cutting must feel odd to you, but you've still created a (fun) scene just as always.
