And this is the card I made using the "fancy" sketch as my inspiration :



The Priscillastyles image was printed on printed scrapbooking paper that had the vintage images on it so because I didn't want to cover them, I used MS Word to add shapes to follow the sketch. The negative spaces (outside the shapes) were shaded using coloured pencils and OMS, and the flowers on the image were embellished using beads and sequins that were sewn onto the card. The two postage stamps were from the same scrapbooking paper and also coloured using pencils and OMS. The ribbon and two photo corner come from my stash.

This is really an easy sketch to follow and so you should have no problem in entering a creation for a chance to win one of those FABULOUS prizes!
