Sketch Challenge- C.R.A.F.T.

Thanks Ei for supplying another fab sketch at C.R.A.F.T. this week!

I loved working with this sketch and know I will use again.

I have used my images

Candyfloss castle - and New Home - On the move

coloured with copics.

Dp's are all Basic Grey - Archaic collection.

Martha Stewart punch.

I don't normally colour images as small as this

but to keep true to Ei's sketch I did

and I am really pleased with the result.

It makes a change for me to have more space around the image.

I am sponsoring this week with a choice of any 4 stamps

from my range of doodles available at Stitchy Bear Stamps.
