I used this week's Skipping Stones Design Sketch and used three different patterns of designer paper for the Embellish Online Mixed Pattern Color Trends Challenge.
I stamped my barn & windmill from Artistic Outpost on White paper and then tried to spray glimmer mist ... but as often happens, it was clogged (I swear, I follow all of the instructions, but mine never wants to spray). I grabbed a paint brush to try painting on some color. Thankfully I tried scrap paper first and discovered there was still some green color on my brush from the last time I used it ... which turned out perfectly for blending my landscape into my sky (love happy accidents) ... I also love how the white space between the brush strokes looks like wispy clouds.
I finished with an Artistic Outpost sentiment and a few wraps of chocolate twine.

Love your unique contrast of the lacey looking bg and the rustic looking image. Wow.
