Inspiring Inkin’ Challenge #9 sketch Challenge
The challenge this week was a sketch challenge and this is what I came up with. This is the sketch we had to follow to make the card. We had to use colours from the same colour family plus one neutral colour. I thought it would make a nice change to use a length of […]
