March is definitely going out like a lion with lots of wind and rain. On Thursday night we had a big thunder and lightening storm in the wee hours. Quite frightening, however woke up to sunshine and a nicer day on Friday. How the days in the week fly by.
Speaking of things flying by, it's time once again for my entry into the latest Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.
Here's My Card:
Sketches are always up for interpretation, so when I looked at this one, the strips reminded me of nautical pilings. I could envision the gulls from the Friendly Seagulls set perched on top of the piling arguing over a chip. That vision led me to create this birthday card.
I debated about spritzing or splattering the background but decided I liked the look of the card without a lot of other things going on. Between the glimmering gems and the sandy pebbles I figured that was enough design elements.
