Black and Green

It's that time of the week again. It's the next Dare To Be Sassy Thursday #231.  And this time it's a sketch.

Since the new "Maleficent" movie is coming out tomorrow, I thought I'd make a card with that theme.  I took a little liberty with the sketch.  I used my image as the large square, a rectangle for the sentiment circle and substituted a button for the bow.

And don't forget that this Saturday is the May Sassy Studio Designs Hop/Release. Come see what the DT makes with the new images Lindsay has created.
