This is my card for today's sketch challenge. I tried a strip of pearls down the side, in keeping with the sketch, but it just wasn't working so I left it off.
It's past midnight, so it was tough to get a decent picture. I might try again in the morning.
TFL!

Your subtle leaves look amazing, Jo, actually, I almost missed seeing them! I love how you sponged the embossed edges, and the crumb cake cs looks great against the vanilla cs! What a beauty~ Your embellies work perfectly! So you missed the long panel and I forgot the 3 pearls! Aren't we a hoot~
