You're one cool cat | Sketch Saturday Challenge #424

Today I finished my entry for Saturday Sketch challenge #424.

Get well soon | Sketch Saturday Challenge #423

The reason I started participating in blogchallenges was my all time creative low and how it got harder and harder for me to even enter my craftroom.

Having a bit of structure to work with really helped me get my creativity flowing again.

The Sketch Saturday challenge of this week gave me the opportunity to take back a bit of control and choose my own sketch out of sketches 215 to 422!

I love all of them, so I decided to choose one with the recipient of my card in mind.

YAY! Sketches!

This card is also an entry for the Crafty Boots 'use a stamp'-challenge.

I really love the result!

Credits to my fiancé for making such a nice photograph at 10.30 pm!
