Challenge #215 Sketch

Good morning Magnolia Fans!
Are you ready for some more creative fun? 

First, we're excited to again introduce Magnolia Stamps as our sponsor:

Magnolia Stamps, based in Boras Sweden, really don't need much of an introduction.
They are the reason this little challenge blog is here and the reason you are all out there crafting and blogging away. They make us all happy and I know we all eagerly anticipate the arrival of each new collection so we can start dreaming up new scenes with the magnificent new stamps.
We are delighted to have them sponsor us this week.

Thank you so much Magnolia!
There is going to be one very happy crafter out there very soon when they win your amazing "Secret Prize Package" from this challenge...

Our challenge this week is a gorgeous sketch!
We can't wait to see what you do with it!
