One of the proudest moments of my young childhood (that I can remember!) is when I found a small nail in the carpet that was dropped by my grandmother. As she took it from my hand and said thank you, she also commented that I was so sharp, I had an eagle eye! Tickled, I tell you, to be recognized in such a manner by a such fine woman! The colors from this combination of a bird's eye was so captivating, I wanted to try out a similar palette. Instantly I thought of the memory too, and it brought good vibes!
Onto this week's Skipping Stones Deign Sketch Challenge with another fabulous sketch from Cristina. I stamped the tiled image from Timeless Textures and a sentiment from Heartsong onto a panel and then adhered that to a series of two die cut mats. I knotted and wrapped twine at each end of the mat and ahdered the entire piece to an embossed cardstock base. I enjoyed working with these soft colors.
