PRETTY IN PINK

 Good morning and welcome to my blog.  Today I'm featuring another card I made for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, which we didn't post at the beginning of the month so here it is.

The sketch used was 

Sketch # 271

Rated this sketch Easy.

What I like about this sketch it shows off all the beautiful design papers that we all have stashed away and don't use sometimes because they are our favourites.
