In the Window Frame

Hello again... I've another card to share for a challenge!!
It's been a while since I blogged quite so many cards but this one came together late last night when I was supposed to be clearing my crafting desk *wink*..... anyone else do that???

The elements for this card were just sitting on the desk and the CAS(e) this Sketch challenge came to mind...

Earlier I had been experimenting with watercolouring the plant on a scrap of card and trimmed it out, I thought it would look good sat on the frame so I took inspiration from Therese and her  fabulous wintery card here, and turned it into a window with two thin strips of card. I placed vellum behind to mute the bkgd stripes and embossed my small sentiment inside one of the window panels... I'd love to tell you I planned it to be above a dark stripe but alas.. it was a happy accident ;)

                                              
Really love the sketch this week so I'm glad I had a chance to play along ... only a couple of hours left til the gallery closes so I best get over there and then I still have a desk to tidy!!!
