Now....I wouldn't say this was a card for the challenge police....I would say instead that this is a 4th or 5th version of the sketch....one in which the outer border had a life of its own and grew wider than it should have.......however...here is the real story.....
I saw the sketch and said....don't need to print this one out...I can remember this.....went down two flights of stairs to the stamp cave......made my card.....came up......took a look at the samples and Roxie's card.....(after being distracted by that beautiful new granddaughter's picture....congrats again, Rox)...noticed a difference.....somehow I created a wider outer border.....but...oh well...otherwise it is A-ok to the sketch.....
I'll do better next time. Thanks for looking and understanding (once again)!!!

Oh, I've done that too, more than once . We see what we want to see sometimes, LOL.
Gorgeous card, I love silhouette images, and it's all so beautifully put together.

I think the way you have created this card is outstandingly GREAT... in fact I like it better than with a narrow border for the prints you used... It is fantastic... then the Black and white print is so pretty too.. and then the little touch of red... and the stamp you used... WOW... all together a great card in all ways... love it.. I wouldn't change one thing... at all.. love it 100%...

Perfect image for this color scheme and sketch Joanne! You are too hard on yourself... I never take the challenges that literally. So guess the challenge police need to come and get me! I have never met a card of yours I didn`t love. :-) TFS!!
