carpe diem

"Carpe diem" seemed like a fitting sentiment for the last challenge over at Deconstructed Sketch. I have really enjoyed these sketches and have really been able to challenge myself with several of them. I was also inspired by The Challenge "tea time" inspiration photo and want to link up to the Eat Me Drink Me Inspiration challenge over at Verve (I can't wait for their new release!!).

And here's a closeup:
