Hi LOVELY Scrappers, welcome to my blog and the STUCK ON U SKETCHES DESIGN TEAM REVEAL.
Love this sketch by Nanne. hope you give it a go, see link below to enter to win yummy prizes.

For this photo,  Jessie is at Scissors Hair Salon Show. The theme was Alice in wonderland and Jessie had her hair done for the show, and danced in it too. I chose to go black and white with the photo as all the colours were a bit intense for my style! Jess was in blue, hence my colour palette.
Here is the sketch;
