Sketches!{By Tamara} ~ 'Paper Roses' ~ Sketch#100

Sketches!{By Tamara} is taking a break over the Summer so this is the final Sketch until the Autumn and it just so happens to be Sketch #100................................I'm also sad to say that this is my final DT Card. I've enjoyed my DT stint (Mojo allowing) and hope you'll join creating with the new Design Team in the Autumn.

I really enjoyed this one and had a play with my Distress Inks and some wonderful textured card I managed to get hold of from my local Craft Shop (I think I'm going to have to see if I can get my hands on any more.........I just love the effect using Rubber Stamps on it). It is a lovely creamy shade but unfortunately the Photo hasn't picked the shade up very well.
