This is another sketch challenge card going back to sketch 514. I was perusing my inspiration photo board on Pinterest and came across this photo that reminded me of a pretty stamp set in my stash. I stamped in Smoky Slate and then took my pencil to it and shaded away. My last step was to smear all my pencil especially around the edges to soften it. I then took my clear star pen and added some sparkle to both the popped rectangle image as well as the flourishes. I added some silver marker pointillism to the images as well. For my horizontal band I used silver cord. Wish I could catch the sparkle on the photo. I have some close ups on my blog.

Love it Gail. I had to smile when seeing the card. We must have been on the same wave length with the pencil shading. It really is fun and relaxing. Great creation. tfs
