My card today covers 3 challenges. Tuesday's color challenge using soft sky, blue bayou & certainly celery ... Tuesday's Crafty Secrets challenge: It all began (love of vintage) ... and of course today's sketch challenge.
I have always loved anything concerning Nature and I found years ago that my decorating style always turned to vintage/victorian. So when I saw this card done by Sharon Johnson (notimetostamp) CC151, CSSC02, Dear Friend by notimetostamp at Splitcoaststampers , this was my introduction to Crafty Secrets vintage designs and I HAD to be a part of it!!!! I have learned SO much from SO many here at SCS and due to that, my love for creating grows daily! TFL

Darlene this card is amazing! I love that fence you added in the corner. What a great detail. I also love how you added the primas to coordinate with the main image. Wonderful job! We love your work and your encouraging words to all of us too! Bless you my friend!
