Mona Pendleton | Monday, September 11, 2017 @ 11:22 AM | Christmas , Oil Painting , PTI

Hi there! Today I'm joining along with the PTI's create Along With Us: September 2017 challenge.

Here's my sample for the challenge:

I combined a fun wreath from the PTI Wreath For All Seasons stamp set along with a sentiment from Vintage Ornaments.

I was inspired by Dawn McVey's card that can be found here. I like how Dawn featured a pretty wreath with and Christmas sentiment.

For sketch inspiration, I'm joining along with Freshly Made Sketches:

Up next is a 12" x 12" oil painting featuring a garden of pansies:

I'm linking my painting to Paint Party Friday site and 30 in 30 Day 10:

Thanks so much for stopping by~hope you have a great day!
Be Sweet ;)
