Every Tuesday we have a New Card sketch from our monthly guest “Sketch Artist”.
We are lucky enough to have the Amazing Amy Sheffer from Picklepaperdesigns.blogspot as our Guest this month.  She came up with this fabulous card sketch:
Now here is the card I made using the sketch.  I must make the disclamer here that I am the “color out of the lines” type.  Actually to be truthful, I am the “color the girraffe purple and the hippo green” type.  Just ask my poor kindergarten teacher.  So it is no surpirse to me that I didn’t follow the sketch exactly- but I loved it, and tried to do it the justice it deserved! The bigest change I made was to just flip it on it’s side.
