Sketch Girl Sketch 1

**Edited to add: I've added a Mister Linky on the Sketch Girl blog for those that want to play.**

Good Morning! Today is the offical start of Sketch Girl. Sketch Girl is a bi-weekly sketch challenge. I went with Bi-weekly because a week goes by too fast these days. The Sketch Girl blog will be home to all the sketches in one place, so run on over and add yourself a follower so you can get an update as soon as a new sketch is added. In the future, we'll have a contest or two with prizes and who doesn't love a prize! If you make the sketch and upload to a forum, please use keyword SG1.

My card uses some lovely goodies from Papertrey Ink. Warm Happiness is one of my favorite PTI sets. My only wish is that there were more sentiments to go with it. I went with Aqua Mist, Hibiscus Burst and Summer Sunrise with a bit of black dp thrown in the mix. I distressed the edges of the pink panel with scissors to give the card a little texture. The finished size of this card is 4.25 x 4.25.


Please check out Sketch Girls Eve, Alyssa, Harriet, Jennie, Tiffany and Sara and see what they've come up with using this sketch.

Thanks and have a great day!
