Well today I woke up without any sign that I'd been out til the early hours of this morning! Even though I felt like a dirty stop out, I felt kinda old too! I'm just not the young party animal I once was I guess! ;D
Today, I really wanted to tackle Dawn's Raspberry Suite Colour Challenge #19 and I'm pretty sure that today would have been the only time I'd get to play along! I plan to make some ATCs after work this week for our PTI Christmas ATC Swap as my deadline is the end of the week when I hope to give them in person to Dawn (I can't wait to meet you, Dawn!)
Anyways, back to the challenge! These colours certainly challenged me:

Stunning card! Great technique. Thanks for the tutorial...and the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteAimes, that is stunning! You clever thing, doing that technique, it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of doing wax crayon blackout pictures when I was little, where you'd scratch away the black crayon into a design to reveal all the colours you'd laid down first.
Glad you didn't feel the worse for wear after your night out!
