Stampin' Up! Happy Inkin' Thursday More " Oh So Succulent" Blog Hop

Happy Thursday everyone, Today for our hop we had a sketch challenge. I used it to inspire me and tweaked the interpretation to fit my idea. The sketch had a heart in the design and I changed that to a square. But that is the beauty of a sketch, it gives you a place to start.

You will see how I changed up the shape in my card.
