Papertake Weekly - Sketch!

Good Morning!
This week's challenge at PAPERTAKE WEEKLY is a Sketch! As always you can either choose to use the new one, like me, or one of the older ones. On today's card I have used a Magnolia Stamp that is new to me but was actually released last year. It's a little larger than the usual ones but I think it works great for Winter birthdays as well as Christmas cards which is why I left this card without a sentiment.
