SSD #75 and CR84FN27 challenges

I combined two challenges this week: a sketch challenge from Skipping Stones Design and a color challenge from CR84FN color challenge. I decided to use these two ideas for a graduation card for my niece. She graduated from Kindergarten on Thursday and I will get to see her tomorrow! She's very girly and frilly so she will love the bright pink and the butterflies. I had fun with this one as my first creative outlet for the week - well first card - I did whip out an adorable layout for another niece. BUT this was the end of the week and it was great to decompress in my "Fortress of Solitude" (my hubby calls it) and scrap away the loooong week!

Thanks for looking!
