a citrus twist sketch

Hi there!  I am so honored to be guest designing for Citrus Twist Kits this month! Every month there is a sketch challenge and we would love it if you'd play along! Just upload your layout to the Citrus Twist gallery to be entered in a drawing to win a $5 gift certificate to the store. 

Now here is this month's sketch:

And here is my take on the sketch:

I really loved how there was already a lot of white space in this sketch so I stayed pretty close to it.  I changed up the background by adding a tone on tone sun burst and then stitched on each ray with my sewing machine to add some texture to it.

Hope you can play along!
