For today's sketch challenge (SC384). Love this sketch!! - Thanks Korin!
I stamped off the En Francais background once before stamping onto my main panel to lighten the image. I colored in the flowers using ink and blender pen and then sponged around the outer edges and over one corner to give it a vintage look. Paired the image with "Generations" paper from Simple Stories (love this set of DP)

Plaid and gingham are such an awesome combo.

Loll this is beautiful. I love the colors you used. This sketch is so simple it lends itself to elegant cards. The main image is lovely. I didn't get to play along today but I sure will try this sketch.

This is a beautiful card. Love the mix of patterned papers and your distress sponging on your lovely focal image. The background text is such a wonderful addition and adds a lot of dimension. Awesome job.

I somehow missed this card this week...I love the richness of the color of this card and your sponging just makes it pop! I really like the script in the background and I especialy like how you put your papers together! I REALLY like this card!!!
