Korin's given us such a great sketch today, so easy to work with! I went for a vintage look with several SNSS sets and made the top panel quite large - all edges have been sponged with Ranger Distress inks. The Vintage Postcard set is fun because there are so many different elements to combine, layer and play with. I used some very light warm gray tone copics to tone down the bright hues of my coloring so that it would give a more vintage impression. I recently found some twine made by Creative Expressions which is wound with creamy hues rather than stark white and it works well with vintage cards.
More on my blog.

Bridget, I purposely sought out your sketch challenge creation because you're cards always amaze me. You still haven't failed me.
Your cards always have just the right amount and everything is placed exact. You are a true artist. Great card!

Wonderful card, Bridget! I love the distressed postcard and accents of the stamp and postmark! The twine is great--I like the richness of the cream versus white!
Bridget this is gorgeous. I love all of your details. The scripture at the top, I love how you got that in there. The little stamp with the heart. The color of those flowers is beautiful. I like what you did with the twine and the pearl. Your cards are always amazing. Love it!
