It's CAS week over at the Verve forum on SCS and I just loved this sketch. Lots of options, that's for sure! This ribbon which I found in the Michael's ribbon bin a year or so ago was my starting point. Such a classic colour combo.
While editing my picture I noticed my sentiment was a bit squint - sorry about that!! The circle has been remounted and adjusted so all is nice and straight now - promise LOL! I'll replace the picture as soon as I get a chance to take a new one. Until then, you'll just have to pretend it is straight by tipping your head to the side a bit ;)
All the Verve sketches for February are done. Now the waiting game to see if I am the lucky winner of the $100 Verve gift certificate begins. Wouldn't take me long to spend it, that's for sure!
Hugs and smiles to you all :)
