Sketch Saturday Challenge #302

Happy Saturday!

We have a new challenge starting today at Sketch SaturdayDeedee Designs is sponsoring Challenge #302. The prize is 3 sets.  Deedee offers sets with colored and line images, sentiments and some sets include coordinating digital papers.

DeeDee's Digi

Sketch #302 was designed by Cathy
 Here is my interpretation:
 
The image, sentiment and patterned paper are from Whole Latte Love by Deedee.  I used the pre-colored image, which could not have made the creation of this card easier.  I think it is a great any occasion card.

The base card is PTI Kraft and matting PTI True Black.  I added a strip of crimped kraft cardstock, another coffee accent.

You can see all the DT creations using this week's sketch HERE.  Hope you will join us this week.
