Melissa has created this sketch for us use for our projects tonight.

Hi, Sharri,
Both cards are so enjoyable. I love how you carried the same color scheme throughout both, the embellies really help tie the designs in, and the colors are quite becoming. I love these!
Hi, Sharri...love the pink sparkly butterfly with the trail of pearls. It's a perfect look. That pop of color on the second card is a stand out! Great job.
