This sketch can be interpreted in so MANY ways. Keep it clean and simple or layer it up!!
This week's sketch features Amy Rohl aka rohla @ SCS and is based on this card.

and here is what I came up with ...
what do you think...
our grandson Ethan has not been feeling to good so I thought a monkey card
might cheer him up...
