It is the first Sunday in November and time for a new challenge at Craft a Scene. The theme this Month is
Troubled Skies and I have been learning how to use my Cumulus stamp (
Stampscapes) with a bit of help from
Kevin on You Tube. The rest of the scene was created with my
Inkylicious stamps - the
Seascape Memories and
Essential Grasses plates. I used a range of Adirondack inks and my
ink dusters to create the background, then added a bit more detail with my distress markers, including the Picket fence one on the light house. I was feeling a bit worried about this theme, but I am quite pleased with my results.
Pop over to the
challenge blog to check out the rest of the DT's creations and find details of the challenge.
Thanks for looking!

Oh Sally, this is wonderful. I love your sky and the whole scheme is fab. Maddy x
This is brilliant - you have certainly mastered the art of the inks! Love the simple ripple strip behind too - a perfect card, Jx
Sally, I am not sure why you were worried about this theme (although I was too), you have produced a stunning card. It makes me think of a cold, windy, stormy evening on the coast of Norfolk. I love it. xx Maggie
Absolutely stunning, Sally - I NEED that cumulus stamp, I'm afraid... you've done a fab job x
Your waves & your sky are brilliant - & I love the way you created the cetnral section like a path leading down towards the seashore - you've captrued the breaking water beatifullt there. The corrgutaed kraft card makes this so atmospheric too & I love the way you mounted the image panel with the deep blue & goldie (possibly kraft??) coloured edging. Your gems echo the soft colours of the ocean too & there's some lovely detail in this creation.

Oh Wow Sal .. .. ... that is definitely one troubled sky!!! It is amazing and you must be well chuffed with this creation.
One for framing and putting on the wall I think!
Hope you have a good week.
Love Jules xx
You needn't have worried Sally, this is stunning, what an amazing sky. I think I need to check out that u-tube vid. I NEEED to know how to do those stunning clouds.
I agree with Jules, it's definitely one for framing.
Hope you have a good week.
