I decided to go with a nautical theme for this sketch, as the anchor and wheel images from Strong Anchor and matching Nautical Die set for them were the perfect size for the circles. It also let me take the opportunity to turn this into a Father's Day card for my hubby by using this wonderful sentiment from the set. The Pennant Trim die provided the banners to complete the nautical theme, and a few brads and some twine became my "masculine embellishments" in lieu of ribbon.
Here is Janelle's wonderful sketch for this week's challenge.
Now on to the cards in the gallery which caught my eye.
First up is Narelle.
Adore the black and turquoise colour combo, her flower/bow cluster and lovely touch of distressing.
Next is this adorable card by Kathy.
Just adore how she used these cute critters from To The Moon and added the hanging sentiment.
Third, is this Father's Day card by Joanna.
Her touch of embossing in the background, fabulous use of colours, and coral as the background for her two toned fish makes for a great card.
