July Sketch Challenge with Guest Designer Karen

Hello WRC Fans,

I must confess I am not always very good at following sketches or keeping a CAS design.  

I still follow the basic structure but my creativity tends to wonder from the path.  Even though I added more details and embellishments, the oval focal point is on the lower left with a sentiment and a vertical stripe.  

The proportions of the design look different as I used a square card base.  So don't feel too confined to follow a sketch challenge exactly.  Allow as much or as little as you need to guide your design while still allowing your originality to soar. 

I hope I have relieved some of the pressure you may have been putting on yourself to follow sketches and will join us for this months challenge. All the details can be found HERE.  Thanks for stopping by!
