Simply Stampin' Challenge 13

This is my card for this week's Simply Stampin' blog challenge. This week's challenge was a sketch challenge.

It's a 'sort of card' as I have created the rest of the card in PhotoShop. I know that normally with digi images you are meant to print them out but I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with my colour printer. Today it doesn't want to print. So Plan B - PhotoShop!
