Sweet Sketch Wednesday Sketch #157

Sponsor Saturated Canary
Image: Let It Rain

Wow what a week I'm back after being in Australia on a business trip and conference where it was a little warmer over there than it is here.  Today in parts of the South Island it's snowing thank goodness I live in the North Island.
My computer was in for repairs whilst I was away and took longer than I thought it would, it's back now but it just doesn't feel the same, it's like learning to ride a bike again.  What would we do if we didn't have our computers?  We wouldn't be sending emails or blogging and using Google I would be totally lost.

Today is Wednesday and that means it's the start of the week for the Sweet Sketch Wednesday team.  Congratulations to our winners from last week there are so many very talented ladies out there and your work is beautiful.  This week we have a new sketch for our followers to play with.

Sketch # 157

Here is my card using Sketch #157 and my image is 
Let It Rain from Saturated Canary.
I've loved this image for ages and have been so wanting to make a card with it, 
I'm so glad I've got the right Sketch for this wonderful image and I'm really pleased how this card turned out.

This week our Sponsor is Krista Smith the owner and illustrator
of 
Saturated Canary 
My name is Krista Smith. I am the artist behind the Etsy shop, Saturated Canary Digis. I began working in the stamping world about a year ago when I was hired to create rubber designs for the sweet Scottish company, Sugar Nellie. They launched my artwork under the name 'Simply Sassy.' I moved into the digital world just this past month (it's been a super busy month, indeed!). And-- I love it!! There is a little more freedom here, as I can create anything that pops into my head:)! I am so humbled by the artistic talent of the girls coloring in my designs-- it is truly an inspiration! Likewise, I am so thankful for the friendships I've made in this wonderful and lovely crafty community! It's been a true delight! I'd love for you to stop by my challenge/inspiration blog, Saturated Canary Challenge and join in the fun...And, while you're there, click over to my personal blog (Saturated Canary) and introduce yourself! I am a bit eclectic and touch on everything from family (I've got me a great one!) to fashion (obsessed!)...Please say 'hi!'...I'd love to be friends!:)



Krista is offering our very lucky winner 
2 free digi's from her online shop.  
My problem is I can never make up my mind to which image I want as I want them all.

Hi Kathie, I am so in awe of your card this week. It is absolutely stunning beyond words. You know me and lavandar anyway...but I love the lavandar and lime green together. The lavandar flowers and hearts on the boots and umbrella add so much to your card. I really, really love this card!!! Beautifully done, my friend.
Hugs, Nancy
