Strike A Pose (Designed with Keeping The Best Sketch)

Another Sketch Challenge from Keeping The Best.

When you were in your late teens or early 20's with nothing to do, you probably did this:  "Strike A Pose" when you're home alone with a loaded 35MM camera.  LOL.  Yep, I did it, that's me back then.   I laugh at these pictures now, but I'm glad I have them to remind me that I was once young and thin. :)  But, on to the good stuff about this crazy good sketch at Keeping The Best.  I love, love negative space it inspires me to get out my crafty mat, lay some inks, paints down and get to creating my own background papers. The lovely soft orchid and purplish colors from the Prima Corine flower (shhh...don't tell Erin Blegen that I have this flower, she's capable of reaching her hand in from the internet cloud all the way from her quaint little cabin to take it for her very own) inpired the colors for me to work with here.  And those pretty Brigitte Butterflies from Blue Fern Studios, seem to fit right at home all dressed up to the 9's in shimmering lavendar embossing powders, glitter and silver micro beads.

The challenge for this sketch ends in two weeks.  I hope to see your picture posted at Keeping The Best and maybe, just maybe, I've inspired you to go through your old pics looking for the "home alone" pictures.  I know you have them.....
