Sketch card.....

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! Busy, busy, busy....that's me today so I'm showing you a card I made that I truly admire.

This was for a sketch challenge and sort of took a mind of it's own once I got started. I have a problem with *not* layering and as you can see; it was hard to stop! I kept looking at it and thinking "it needs something else" so I added the crystal effects to the DSP, punched the brads through because I felt that it needed those, added ribbon---didn't really see where I was going to put that at first and finally the pearl. This card is HEAVY LOL!! I think I keep it as a reminder as to what not to do!!!

I'm off to start my hectic day....oldest DS is having his first trip to the Oral Surgeon & it's not local. I'm thinking he's going to suggest removing those wisdoms....hope I'm wrong but I just have that feeling. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!!
TTFN,
Hugs,

Poor DS, he's in for surprise! Who ever knew that "wisdom" teeth would cause so much trouble?????

We're all pulling for him! Oh. Oh my, No PUN intended!

Wow, I just love this card! I make "heavy" cards too...sometimes I have to add a penny to the back for counter weight! LOL! Best of luck at the oral surgeons...doesn't sound like much fun at all!
