This is a great Sketch Challenge thanks Roxie for the inspiration!!!
I really like this layout and will probably use it often. I inked and layered the DP and used a sentiment on vellum ( a RAK from the lovely Pat Smethers) for the top layer, it probably doesn't show up in the photo as much as it does IRL. I then used flowers with half gems instead of stars. The final touch was my lovely corners which came in a RAK today from Pat....God bless that dear sistah..she knew I didn't have a corner punch and sat and punched out hundreds...I was so touched....amazingly enough the exact colour I needed for this card were right on the top!!!
Thanks for looking and for your comments, they are appreciated!

Sistah Linda! I *love* this sketch and am so happy to see that you are enjoying your RAK. (I punched corners from scraps one Sunday while chatting with my baby sis on the phone. The time flew!) I will have to take a look at this sketch! Your card is just gorgeous, and I love the elements you chose to make it 'pop'! Love it!

Hey how pretty is this card, love how you worked the layout my friend. The vellum is very pretty with the sentiment, so inspiring for us all. I needed something like that today and just fell on the first card and it was yours. WOW beautiful Linda.
