This week's sketch at Atlantic Hearts gave me the opportunity to use some colouring skills that I have been practicing! The ShinHan markers have had me pretty frustrated until recently. I spent some time watching some very helpful videos and I feel like I have a much better idea of how to use them now (not that I am claiming to be an expert by any means!) I really like how these flowers turned out and I wanted to use them on this card.
I used one of the CTMH party favours gift bags for my "flower holder"... wanted to do something a little different. In order to get my flowers to fit, I had to turn the sketch on its side and alter the placement of a few items, but interpreting a sketch is what it's all about, right?
Come and join us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge this week and show us how you interpret this week's sketch!

LOVE your interpretation... and your coloring is fantastic... I keep practicing and am still not quite thrilled with my skills, but I keep watching videos and practicing. Cool idea to use the gift bag...
