Raccoon

At As You Like It Challenge this fortnight we're asking what your favourite sketch is.  I flit between favouring fussy cards to clean and simple layouts, so it's difficult to narrow down a single favourite 'sketch' layout.  

Today I'm in clean and simple mood, and this layout is one of my favourites: a curving top banner of pretty papers, with a thin strip of the same papers below the image panel to balance it out.

I've dressed it up a little more than normal with a double layer of papers (just using the offcut from the first cut) and added a trio of flat backed pearls for a some texture.
