For Challenge #1 - Sketch Sketched by dj 08.01.21

The title is from a song by The Kinks & is a little dark. I also have a thing for hats.

Sometimes your own backyard is paradise.

Created for the 52 Inspirations Challenge for July 2021.

I’m now in Autumn. Weather changes quickly, 2 days ago I had the air conditioning on & then the next day a thick cardigan. I thought about what I like about the arrival of spring. For me it is finally putting my heavy winter clothes away & feeling refreshed with light & colourful clothing.

I chose a dark background to create some contrast. I clipped the photo into the mask and put the focus on the photo by means of a circle frame.

Hi there! I'm new to the 52 Inspiration. What do I do? I did download the files for the week. Where do I find the challenges or other info related to this? Happy New Year! Betsy

Since I'm new to this, I'm still trying to figure out "my style" . . . I thought this first inspiration kit was great! Can't wait to do 51 more! Credits: Everything Sue Cummings except Drop Shadows actions by Traci Murphy and Jayne Print font from dafont.com.
