Sweet Sketch Wednesday No. 60

Well hello Wednesday! Time flies when you're having fun eh? Turns out our summer is over here in the "Sunny" South East of Ireland. It's either just rain or excessive heat with the chance of rain at any minute. The sun just cannot seem to get through the clouds anymore :-( Anyway here's something to cheer me up, Sweet Sketch Wednesday's Arlana's new sketch! I had great fun with this one!
 

Our fabulous sponsor this week is Shirley's 2 Girls 
 
and the fantastically talented Shirley is giving us a $10 prize for the winner to go digi shopping mad with!!! Kinda jealous girlies!!! LOL!!
I got to use Schnapp's Close Up this week and you can find her here. 

Of course with a fantastic hat and coat like that I just had to vintage her up. Promarkers were used to colour madam and her pooch and then the papers were all from the Victoria & Albert collection. The ribbon is actually champagne in colour, well that's what it says on the label but I think it suits. There is some Antique Linen distressing around the image too, just subtle enough that hopefully now i've told you, you'll see it! :-D Added some pearls to the 'champagne' ribbon because every Lady must have her pearls! 

Hope you can check out my fantastic teamies works. They're still surprising and inspiring me every week! Hop over to Sweet Sketch Wednesday and check them out.

Hi Jenny, I just love your card the moment I saw it I loved it. It's elegant, and beautiful. The pearls I love pearls. Your ribbon and bow is to die for it's perfect. I love to see a bow tied properly on a card and matching. That's me sometimes OTT. LOL.
Take care have a great weekend.
Hugs

I really love the vintage feel to this card. I feel like I'm looking at an old picture when they were done in sepia. Very nice card, Jenny.
