Stamplorations Sketch in Black and White

It's the bi-weekly Sketch Challenge on the Stamplorations Blog. 

"Gentle Leaf" die from Poppy Stamps and sentiment from Hero Arts

Exploring a New Challenge

Stamplorations, a blog and online store, is a new site to me; I found it through Snippets, Karen Dunbrook's blog, with her many beautiful blue creations.  Karen is guest designer for Stamplorations' August Challenge, Stamps and Diecuts, and I've CASEd her card today.  Although I don't have any Stamplorations images, I used a Crafter's Workshop stencil for the same "reverse stencil" technique.  The feather diecut is from a Spellbinders set, and the sentiment is from Hot Off the Press.
