I am having some major computer issues this week. (My dear old desktop has died & I think the laptop is going out in sympathy, so I've moved on to DS's computer - hope I don't break this one too!)
I have to admit, I found the little box thingy down the bottom of the sketch a bit tricky - I tried all sorts of things on my card, but none actually worked, so I chose to omit that part of the sketch. Sorry Keesh! :)
Inspiration for my card comes from the very talented Paula Dobson, who is an absolute master with sponging. I have just unpacked this set & decided to use it as a silhouette image, a la Paula. I have created the background using a brayer & sponges.
Love this sentiment:-
