Sketch 88

Hello! Here's this week's sketch. It's funny, I ended up struggling a bit with my card. The sketch looked great on paper, but it just wasn't coming together. I'm sharing my sample, since I didn't want to leave the post sample-less, but I am not thrilled with the card. I may take another stab at it later! I think I have a few ideas as to what I would change. I was just so hung up using vanilla and kiwi, since that was my ribbon choice. I think the design could more than just the 2 colours. Supplies: Stamps: Fifth Avenue Floral, Birthday Basics Ink: Basic Gray, Kiwi Kiss Paper: Kiwi Kiss, Vintage Cream, DSP Accessories, etc.: Corner rounder, ribbon As always, if you participate, please leave a link!
