Freshly Made Sketches #691

Hey you guys!!  It's my turn to create a sketch for Freshly Made Sketches - I sure hope you like it - I'm pretty excited as it is my very first!  

I often wondered 'which comes first?  The card or the Sketch?' 
In my own case, it was the card!  I knew if I liked the card, the sketch
could be drawn pretty easily - it is my first time, okay! lol
Ready for the card?


I had been 'savoring' this little Woodland Tales Floral die from Spellbinders' for some time- I cut the layers from the same watercolor card as my card panel and blended a bit of lilac ink on the petals, yellow for the center, and greens for the leaves.  I just love this soft lavender - don't you?  An old friend from Lil' Inkers
came to the party to provide that wonderful, debossed texture on my card panel and
I think the die-cut sentiment from Concord & 9th makes it seem fresh and new.


I know my teammates will have fun with it - after all, they always make our Sketches shine!  I just can't wait to see what YOU will create!  Are those ideas percolating that I hear?

That is a beautiful shade of lavender, Michele, and a gorgeous flower sitting on the fantastic sentiment! It doesn't look like your a beginner to me. You've done a fabulous sketch and card!
