Freshly Made Sketches #731

Donna is our sketch artist this week - I think it might be her first, but it's so good it feels like she's a pro already!  Take a look at Freshly Made Sketches #731:


In all fairness, I made my card from Donna's 'rough sketch' so I'm not sure what the three colors might represent - maybe we'll know when we see her card?  I can't wait!
Without further ado, here is how I interpreted Donna's artwork:


Oh, I know my sentiment is not in the right spot - but there wasn't a designated
spot on her rough sketch... I put it where it seemed 'at home' on my card.


These little lavender sprigs are from Altenew and I did pick up the
coordinating die for it, too.  My sentiment is from Concord & 9th's
Picked Posie Die set and the amazing embossing was made with the
Spellbinder's Summertime Waves - a gift from our sketch artist today!


Okay - enough chit chat... I'm heading over to FMS#731 to see what Donna did with her sketch - it will be incredible as always, as will my teammate's cards!  Join me, won't you?

I love lavender and I LOVE this card! Such a beautiful and fresh spring feel on this. Oh, and hint...the colors are the sketch computer drawing person's way of adding pop, lol (yes me...I'm the problem, it's me). Hope your week is lovely!
