Marrakech...yum!

Pam's sketches are intriguing. Since I have Amy to enable me (and thus don't have to look far), I wanted to make sure I played!

This sketch seems to be the perfect place to showcase some fun DP. Basic Grey to the rescue! And I am amazed that BG's Marrakech can even make Groovy Guava (blech!) look good!

In addition, I took on the Dutch Dare challenge to decorate the inside of my card (which I never do!). Inside, I added the sentiment but only used part of the Hero Arts stamp (love making a stamp more versatile!).

What a great card, with a challenging (well, to me anyway) sketch!! I had to smile at your comment about Groovy Guava - I felt the same way! Then, like you, I found a patterned paper that made it look good, and used up my entire stash on B-day invites for my daughter :) Have a great day!
