Hi Everyone!

I'm here to share another card for the latest Lawn Fawnatics Challenge

This time our challenge is to be inspited by our Card Sketch  and this is my take:

I started by making a cardbase and then die cut a panel that I pained with a bit of watercolor and spattered white gouach paint. When the bg was dry I added my stamped and diecut sentiment strip and added my stamped,c colored  and die cut images. My inages are colored using copic markers.
