Freshly Made Sketches #200 - A Celebration! - Post One

Today, I just had to try to post again - even though it's a bad day on the internet again - one day it isn't too bad and I think, 'great we are getting back to normal', the next, the little ring just keeps turning and turning in ever increasing circles, only to come up with the dreaded, 'can't load page' or some other such nonsense!

Anyway, the reason I am so determined today is two-fold.

One, it is a celebration over on the Freshly Made Sketches challenge as it is their 200th!!  Way to go FMS!  and as it is one of my favourite challenges, I just had to do something for it and I haven't been able to do much lately!  As I type this, I see Blogger has come up with a red bar and a warning triangle and is announcing, "An error occurred trying to save or publish your post" . . . but I will soldier on!

The second reason is that, as some of you lovely people already know, I am going to be away from next Friday for nearly a month - without internet - which at the moment is only a good thing!! - but I want to get as many posts as I can in before then!

So, here is the sketch.

Here is card number one.









Because it is a celebration, I felt that it needed sparkle and bling!  I have also made a black version and as I couldn't decide between the two, I am using both!  Stay tuned for the next post which is the second version.  Here goes!  Have a lovely day!  Hazel xx
