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.
