Good morning all
Today I am loading my take on the Scrap 365 April Sketch challenge which was bought to my attention through the lovely Jennifer Grace Blogspot. As some of you may know our Jennifer is a UK scrapper who inspires many of us here in the UK.. myself included.
Anyhoo.... I liked the look of this sketch and I decided to use my new found love of watercolour paint as the basis for my LO.
I started with a simple three colour lemon, lime and beige wash behind the area that I was going to add my photo to and then started building from there.
First I pulled out my March Counterfeit Kit. As the March Guest Designer for the CKCB I thought I'd use up some more of my kit. So, although I added the white and green cardstock, the other papers were from my kit..making it the 8th (?) LO I've made with it.
So here it is! The photo was taken as I was out walking my dogs last spring..and there in front of me, was this baby owl! Now, me being me, I had my DSLR camera with me, so I was able to get this close up of it, although I think if I'd got right up close it wouldn't have flown off.. it was a surreal moment to say the least! Wasn't I lucky to find it?
I hope you've enjoyed seeing my LO and clicking through to have a look at the other blogs I follow..but please remember to come back again!
Tomorrow I am pleased to say I will be joining in the CKCB blog hop where I will be sharing another THREE layouts!
Do come back and tell me what you think.. I'm looking forward to seeing you all here then. By for now, and thanks for stopping by!
