I adored this week's sketch and itched to get into my room to have a go at it, especially since the sands are slipping through the hour glass on the final week of the school holidays and a return to work is imminent!
I've think I've kept all the main elements of this sketch. The bow has moved to the butterfly and the three dots have become three leaves, the sentiment has moved a bit but all still recognisable. I'm in love with this sentiment from Clearly Besotted; the only non-SU thing on this card. I'm also always happy to have an excuse to get out my Dictionary stamp and Kinda Eclectic - those leaves are my favourites.
Update: So extremely honoured and happy to be voted a Featured Artisan!
