Sending smiles

My card sales have gone well this season - I sell at a small craft fair, held in our RV park every other Saturday.  It is all I can do to keep a decent stash, and fill several special orders.  Thinking of you cards go fast - so many in our age group are seriously ill.
I used Mardi Gras colors, purple, green and yellow (gold) for this challenge:  http://amusestudiochallengeblog.blogspot.com//http

The sketch:  ://www.sweetsketchwednesday.blogspot.com/




I usually struggle with small squares, but I am pretty happy with this result.  The vine image is from the Rubber Cafe, and the sentiment is Dandelion Designs.  I colored with a green chalk pastel crayon and gold gel pen.  I added some ribbon and purple rhinestones.

    yes, Dorothy, the right click and copy should work....but sometimes internet explore and blogger has other ideas. It doesn't always work but should. Your card is beautiful. I love the vine you have used to trail down the squares. It is lovely. Such a nice take on the sketch. Thanks so much for joining us.
