RetroSketches #137

IMG_6781


Time for a new sketch at RetroSketches!

This week our sketch is based on a card that I did HERE.

Here is my retake on my card.

I was inspired by Lizzie Jones card HERE. I love that she put the inverse pieces back into the die as inlaid die cuts. I clear embossed the frame and used colour blocking instead of stamping.
