Today's Pals Paper Arts challenge is a sketch! I love sketches, especially the ones from the talented Margaret Moody. Here is Margaret's sketch for this week:

My Card. The first photo is a close-up. I used Shimmer Paints on the Marina Mist flower and also on the embossing. I hope you can see it because it is so shimmery!

I knew I wanted to use my new DSP Elegant Soiree and I knew I wanted to coordinate the Elegant Lines Impressions Folder. My husband always teases me about my obsession with "matching" things. I'm 100% french and I think us frenchman are all little anal about that! I always make sure he "matches" before we go out....you know men, they just grab whatever is closest to them and throw it on (especially red and green......I tell him to "take it off, you look like a Christmas tree!").

Layer #1: Early Espresso
Layer #2: Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper, Eyelet Border Punch for one edge.
