Hello!
I’m always looking for inspiration when it comes to cardmaking.  My go-to is a good sketch challenge.  The group over at the Inspire, Create, Challenge had a sketch I couldn’t pass up! Please click on the picture below and check out the other challenge entries.

I have moved from Summer colors into Fall hues.  I think they played together nicely.  Here’s how I used the colors and the sketch together.

Now for the nuts and bolts:
