For today's sketch. I had a roadblock with this one; found it to be quite a challenge and not one of my favorites. I stamped the image in Basic Brown then water colored and sponged the edges. I also sponged the snowflake's edges too. Each of the red borders is dp. I tried a solid center panel, ribbon, switching different dp's, but nothing seemed to look right so I went with the same dp as the bg. Thanks for stopping by today! ~Roberta

Oh but Roberta, it's a beautiful card! It's a great use of the sketch and your papers are so lovely. I liked the way you used the same paper for all the panels - I wouldn't think to do that, and it instantly gives a less ' busy' feel to the card.
