Let's Get Sketchy at DZ Doodles

Good morning everyone!  It's challenge time again at DZ Doodles, and this week we have a great sketch from Rosalien, and an adorable freebie image.  I've used them both to make a Mother's Day card, but it really could be for any occasion.  Doesn't it just shout 'Spring'!


You'll note that this time I've gone with black and white, adding some embossing swirls to the two black panels.  Behind the image I've used a piece of glossy black cardstock, which really makes the image pop.  The image itself is coloured with Prismas, and the background has been sponged with DI.  For embellishments, just a pearl in each corner, a little bow, and a bit of greenery and flowers, leaving the image as the focal point.

So what are you waiting for?  Head on over to the challenge blog for the freebie and get started on your entry today.  And be sure to check out the awesome creations made by the rest of the design team too!  Enjoy
