A card for my niece ......

Over the last couple of months I've been wandering around the blogging world seeing all of the beautiful cards being created by very talented people.  I can only hope to develop my skills to match the beautiful designs that I have seen. I've found many card designers by first seeing their work on one of the blogs that organise weekly competitions (and there are quite a few!). It's a very brave thing to put your work out there for others to see and comment on - I wasn't sure that I was that brave!!  But I've decided to have a go,  I hope that if I receive any comments they may help me to develop my skills.  So here goes....

This weeks challenge at clean&simple is based on this sketch:



This is the card I made based on this sketch:

Now all that's left to do is upload it to clean&simple!
