Keeping the best... - Sketch Challenge #41

Spring has sprung in this part of the world, and it's just glorious! So nice to see some sunshine and be out!

At the last minute, I decided to enter a challenge happening at Keeping the best..., I had a few ideas for the sketch challenge, but ended up changing my photos and paper a few dozen times and finished with a result nothing like I was planning or expecting.

Anyway, here is the sketch for challenge #41:

And here is my entry:

And a few close-ups:

The designers have done some amazing work on their interpretation. Worth popping over to see.

The challenge ends today - by the end of September 2. If you can whip up a layout, you still have a bit of time.

Materials used: Kaisercraft  paper; EK success punch; American Crafts Thickers; Basic Grey and craft stock buttons; gesso.

Thanks for taking the time to pop by.

PS: The goose that I am, linked this page on the challenge site with the title of the page under the layout, instead of my name. I don't think I was meant to do that! LOL!
