HLS Sketch and CF #136

It's cold and I'm going to spend the day sewing on a quilt but first I want to post the only card I have finished.  I made it for the sketch challenge at Happy Little Stampers but it also qualifies for CASual Friday, I think.  That challenge is "must love watercolor" which I do but a lot of the Design Team cards had a love theme to it.  Not mine.


I watercolored this stamp from Penny Black with Distress Inks and added the sentiment from Clearly Besotted.  Clean and Simple.  One Layer.  

I know the sketch looks multi-layered but I thought the holly behind the poinsettia still resembled the sketch.


Thanks for stopping by.  You know your visits and comments mean the world to me.
