Viva La Verve sketch 1

Here's a card using Viva la Verve's sketch for March week 1:

 I used GinaK Designs "A Year of Flowers" for the rose and the sentiment from "Whimsical Wishes"
Colouring was done with pencils & then shaded with artist thinners. It was a bit bright to match the papers so I shaded over it with Antique Linen distress ink. (This was my colouring for Day 11).

 

I would also like to make this my 3rd entry into the World Wide Open DT challenge:

Take care all!
