Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Sketch 127



I have been rather neglectful of my both my blogging and commenting recently so apologies to those I have neglected, hopefully normal service will resume.

Thank you for visiting and any comments you are kind enough to leave.

Sweet Sketch and Dilly Beans


This fortnight we are using the quirky images from Megan Suarez at Dilly Beans along with another great sketch from Kathie.



I am using Penny and Fox Framed. I have coloured her with Copics although somehow I managed to colour the hair the same colour as my skin so had to darken the hair. I think it worked. 
I have used some papers from Craftwork Cards and some dotty organza ribbon. I have had the ribbon slide for ages and it went well with the papers so that was a bonus.

It would be great if you could play along with us this fortnight.

Thank you for taking time to visit me.
