Good Morning Everyone and Welcome to my blog,

Rachel is hosting our January challenges. She has created a fun sketch challenge. For my card, I also pulled out some new patterned paper. This Fruit Salad DSP is available for free during Sale A Bration. The sentiment is from the Ice Cream Swirl stamp set. I added some Sale A Bration sequins and some splatters to finish off my card.

This sketch is in landscape orientation but feel free to flip or rotate the sketch when creating your card.
