This is my entry for the fab sugarbowl Challenge.....
I am really pleased with this card for 2 main reasons, firstly this is the first time I have followed a sketch in about 3 months. I was finding that every time I followed a sketch..I ended up getting tied in knots and not liking the results..so I have just been doing my own thing for a while......hence why all my cards had a similar layout....even I was getting bored with them!!!! So I have attempted to follow a sketch again, and i actually like how it turned out! whooo hooooo!!!!!!
The 2nd reason I am happy, is that I do struggle with the "shabby chic" look....I have been working on it, as it is a look I love and I would like to master it....I realise this is not a patch on the beautiful shabby chic cards all you guys produce, but it is the most happy I have been with this look.
The background text paper is "7 gypsies" and all the other papers and the sentiment are "Daisy D"... and I have coloured one of my Fav Leanne Elis designs with copics...I was a little worried when I cut her out that she would loose an arm, but thankfully it survived!
Once again Thanks for looking!

Love your colour combo Juls. The image and the papers fit so well together. I love your "shabby chic". I am always nervous of distressing...I always think I have distressed enough and then realise when it's too late that I haven't distressed enough!
