There's a new Sketch and Color Challenge starting today at Your Next Stamp.

   

Here is the awesome sketch Julie has designed for us...

   

  

...and the color combo...

    

    

Remember, you can take inspiration from just one of these, or combine them for the ultimate challenge!!

  

I used the color combo this time, but my colors are a bit brighter than the swatches in the photo... when I printed it for reference, they did not look so pastel! Oh well... close enough, I hope!

      

I set out to make a little scene with the cute pup from the Love and Smiles set. This cloudy paper from the Echo Park Everyday Eclectic pad had most of the colors for the challenge, and was the perfect backdrop for my scene! I cut a piece out with the Stitched Rectangles Dies, and added details with Lamp Post and Fence Die Set, Chunky Grass Die, and Puffy Clouds Die Set.
