Totally Gorjuss is back with a sketch challenge!

Happy Saturday everybody!  Today Totally Gorjuss is back for 2011 and our first challenge is a sketch!  This week we are sponsored by Joanna Sheen - I love this shop for their free postage and packing worldwide and ultra fast service - my kinda service!  So here is my take on the sketch...


 
 




I've been practicising my watercolouring and this time I used my Aqua ProMarkers that I won on another challenge.  They are really easy to use and I love the vibrancy of the colours!  I cut out the leaves from the paper and mounted them on foam pads to give it a little more interest.

Don't forget to visit the Totally Gorjuss challenge blog to see the other totally gorjuss DT inspiration! 


I am also entering this card into the following challenges:

Paper/cardstock: Bazzill white cardstock, Bazzill blue Bling cardstock, Bo Bunny Persuasion paper
Stamps: Sugar Nellie I give you my heart stamp, CC Designs sentiment (I think!)
Mediums: Aqua ProMarkers
Accents: Paperchase ribbon,pearl bead from stash
Tools: My Favorite Things Di-namics border and rolled rose flower die
