Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 50

Atlanti Hearts Sketch Challenge
50

Happy Monday everyone, hope you all had a nice weekend.  I did, I had a Close to My Heart gathering with a group of wonderful ladies, we had a lot of fun!!
The sun came out a little bit and melted some more snow and that was a good thing.  But this is the time of year of dirty snow and MUD...be glad when that is done.
Any who, here is the card I made for this weeks sketch challenge...

I used the new Skylark paper,, I love it, such pretty paper, love the color combo as well as the bird images, although the pieces I used for today's card do not have any birds on them.

I used skylark paper pack (X7177B)
CTMH zipper lace
mini medley accent Olive (z1489)
Skylark assortment (Z3000)
paper trimmer and adhesive

Hope you like how it turned out and will give the sketch a try and link it up here...Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog
