So, here it is! My first Sketch Saturday post! Woohoo! What a thrill. And what a fabby sketch.
I've been playing with sketch's (particularly Jo's) for years. When I first came back to crafting after I had Sweet Cheeks, I didn't get on with them at all. I always seemed to go off piste and found it really hard to follow them. I've come a long way since then and it tickled Jo no end the first time I uttered the phrase 'I LUUUUUURVE sketch's! Naturally, the week I want to make a top notch card to do Jo and Sketch Saturday proud, the sketch had me tied up in knots! It's the two little strips that did it! Pah!

I'm still a bit unsure about this one, although it's growing on me and I'm really happy with my colouring.
