Challenge #70 Sketch Challenge

Welcome to our 70th Challenge here at Aurora Wings, hosted by the Stella Team.  

This time we have a lovely sketch for you to follow.

The sketch is a design guideline, but it's still open to some creative freedom. As long as we can see inspiration on your project, feel free to rotate, flip or change the size or shape of the elements.  Most of all, have fun with it.

Please remember our rules.

Challenge #46 A Sketch Challenge

Welcome to our 46th challenge here at Aurora Wings.   We have something a bit different for you this time, a Sketch for you to follow.
