Kick up yer heels - it's Sale-a-Bration time!  Today I'm using the cute donkey SAB set, Darling Donkeys, using Paper Craft Crew's sketch #405.

After light watercoloring, it was fun to use masking and the old "snot sucker" Color Spritzer tool to create a flea-bitten gray donkey.

The iNaturalist Seek animal/plant identifier app claims my horse Freckles is a donkey.  I'm not sure he really appreciates it.  I immediately thought of him when I saw this set.

Speaking of Freckles, and you'll see why the Darling Donkeys set reminds me of him, this is how he greeted his pasture-mate after being apart for a few years.  Little stinker!

I used this photo, along with this week's sketch over at Sunday Stamps, for my inspiration.  I also used an SVG file off the internet to cut the fence with an e-cutter.

Here is this week's Sunday Stamps sketch, created by Stef.
