Hi there! It's Tuesday and it's time for another one of Mercy's Sketch challenges! I combined this week's sketch with Joanne Basile's Fold It Challenge, the last challenge leading up to her third Blogaversary! We had to fold something....paper pleating, paper crumpling, ribbon pleating, etc.....I tried my hand at some ribbon pleating! FUN!
I used another one of the Stamping Bella images that had not seen ink yet, Scarlett the Teacup Girl. I am in LOVE with these images! I paper pieced the flower and the flowers in Scarlett's hair. The larger flower was popped up for some dimension. The sentiment is from a Papertrey set called Birthday Basics.
Don't forget to check out the rest of the Muse's for some sketchy inspiration!
