Hi everyone and Happy Saturday!! I made this card for this week's Viva La Verve Sketch With a Twist. The Twist???? Use the color combo Baja Breeze, More Mustard and Summer Sun. This was a REAL CHALLENGE!! LOL! But I persevered and am pretty happy with the result! I LOVE the sketch and this color combo is growing on me! Never in a million years did I think I would start to like Summer Sun!
