I made this monochromatic thank you note for today's sketch challenge, SC292, and for Speedy the Cat's Friends Challenge #14, to make a thank you card. Oh, this is also for a challenge to use NO EMBELLISHMENTS!! Boy, that *was* a challenge
I know that in the sketch the fan elements were designed to hang off the edge of the card, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it!! So this is a modified version of the sketch (the scaredy cat's version!). This cool purse card by my friend and fellow Punchkateer debzi333 [My next elegant evening out purse! :) by debzi333 at Splitcoaststampers inspired me to pull out my Very Vintage SU wheel! Thanks, Debzi!!!

Looks like there are embellishments with all the fun things you added and that fun paper you used! Great job on the sketch and all the other challenges. Lovely card.
