Sketch at Kenny K's Krafty Krew

Well I have finally had time today to make a card for something other than my DT pieces so as I bought some new images off of my favourite digi designer I made a card for my sister's birthday that is coming up in Sepember.  The theme this week is a sketch

and here is my attempt

I have used some papers from a card pack of unknown origin as it has no cover :o(  gems from my stash.

Side / inside view

This fab digi is called 'freida flapper' from Kenny K and I have coloured her with pro markers, then cut her out and attatched using foam pads

This great stamp was free with the stamping magazine 'creative stamping' and I thought it went perfectly with the image!
