A Stuck Sketch got me unstuck

I have been in a crafting lull lately and decided that the scores of sketches that I save would be a good place to start. I decided to start with the most recent sketch to fall into my Feedly feed. The October first offering from Stuck?! looked like a good place to start.



 

I had a portrait photo of Scarlett modelling a necklace she made and I knew this would be perfect for the sketch. Scarlett has been off school all week with a virus so I set up on the lounge floor while she napped on the couch and things came together pretty quickly.



I used a variety of collections including Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper and MME's Find Your Wings and Fly. For once I took a photo of my layers before I started gluing and it was just as well as a certain small person dismantled the whole pile.




It felt really good to be crafting again. I hope I manage to grab some time tomorrow to try another sketch. S is home for the rest of the week with her bug so I might be lucky!
