It's the first Saturday of March and that means sketch time over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. ...Branka is our hostess this month and we're off to a great start. While I don't often make square cards, I enjoyed using this sketch and making one. The pre-colored artwork is from Carolyn's Musings on ETSY. I love fussy cutting part of an image and popping it over the base image. I colored with colored pencils slightly (watercolor will not work with my printer ink. I hope you join this fun sketch challenge and be sure and take a look at the beautiful Design Team Creations. Smiles, Kathy
