Can You Case It #141, A Sketch Challenge

Welcome to this week's challenge!  I just love this sketch.  You can keep it simple or make it elaborate.  Here is this week's inspiration:

And here is my take on the sketch:

I loved this sentiment ever since I first saw it in a kit at unitystampco.com.  It is from their January 2015 Kit of the Month, Magic of Beginnings.  The bottom part of the card was created with the Tim Holtz mesh stencil and Art Anthology paints.  The top half of the card is My Mind's Eye pattern paper that I inked.  The card was finished with three Basic Grey brads and twine.

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see your wonderful creations.

Until next time, keep crafting in peace and love,
Dawn
