House of Card August challenge

Hello, and welcome to another monthly challenge here at House of Cards!  We loved everything we saw last month and hope that we keep seeing many regular participants each time!  So, let's get to it!  We've got another challenge ready for you this month  - it is a sketch challenge:



I used a Memory Box stencil. The fun fish and sentiment are by TAWS - Sea Mates. Added some sequins, as you can see.....

And here is our sketch:


So head over to the blog and let our amazing DT inspire you and have fun participating! I love to see your creations there!

I am also linking this card with  BIZZY BEC'S Challenge - "ANYTHING GOES"
and Inkspirational - use markers or pencil - the fish is colored with Copics
