ROSES ARE PINK AND BROWN

 Good morning and welcome to my blog.  Today I have two new sketches for July.

It's 14 years since I have been a Design Team member for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2.  Where have those years gone?

My card today is totally out of my comfort zone colours I never use especially brown and pink together. But I must admit I enjoyed making it.
