FLOWER TEACUP

Good morning and welcome to my blog.  I'm late posting my card because I went away for a few nights and forgot my laptop.
This month over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, I have two new sketches for you as well as a retro sketch from the past.

Today I'm presenting one of the sketches.

Sketch #303
This sketch is very easy, and I love how my card turned out using the design paper and image I chose to use.
 

A quick peek at the inside of the card.

Don't forget to pop over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and check out what the rest of the design team have been up to.

Challenges I'm Entering:
Neglected design paper, which I've had for ages and forgotten I had it.  When I found it knew I had the perfect image to go with it.
When I found this paper in my stash, which I love, I knew I had the perfect image to use to go with it.  I love orange and this soft olive green.  It reminds me of the flower powder days with hippies.
