Friday Sketchers #16 + Dutch Dare 'Get Well' Challenges
I have based this card on this weeks sketch at Friday Sketchers and the challenge theme of 'Get Well' at Dutch Dare. This is a change of colour for me, I don't usually use pastel colours but I found the papers in my box (I don't even remember buying them!!). I have had a go at colouring the images with my Pro Markers and added a sentiment which I wrote on the PC.
I hope you all have a good Bank Holiday weekend.
