For today's sketch challenge, I started with a purple and dotted purple background, and layered orange, blue, yellow and green paper on top, Added some texture by rubbing my yellow and blue ink pads on top of the coffee sleeve. Added a tag stamped with a beehive, stamped in 2 colors (my circular element, with the bees surrounding it). Did a bit of coloring, and added a handwritten sentiment. Finished with some fabric and twine ties.

Julia,
My first response when I saw your card was wow, love the little bees but then when I looked again it was the dotted colors that I really liked and jumped out at me!! The color is shaded together so wonderfully differently that it caught my eye and I had to look again! Love it!! Awesome addition of the cute sentiment!! Oh yes and the bee hive is fantastic, so realistic with it's layers!!

I love the way you have incorporated a three dimensional object (the hive) as your circular element and the bees around it as the second circular layer! Your cards are alway worth a second look to see your approach to the challenge! TFS
