Hi Crafters,
Another fortnight has passed by and we have a new challenge at As You Like It this week.
We are sponsored by Sweet Pea Stamps and we would love you to create a project using your favourite 'Bright or Pastel' colours and then tell us why they are your favourites to qualify for the prize.
I really love bright and bold colours, especially the colour red, but I truly admire cards from my blogging friends that are created using pastels as I seem to have a problem working with these shades. I tend to deepen the tones while colouring them and end up with a not so pastel finish.
So, I have decided to challenge myself to make a pastel card...or two, and here is my first one.
This was so very hard to stop colouring before I ruined it but I think I've achieved what I set out to do.
Recipe
Stamp - Penny Black Rubber, 'You Are A Peach' by Mo Manning
Medium - Pro/flexmarkers
MFT Blueprints 14 die set
Jus-Cutz Nested Scalloped Square Die

Well that's all from me today, hope to see you again soon,
Lorraine
