Wow! what a fabulous week we have for you at The Pink Elephant, a gorgeous Colour Challenge.............
Pink, Chocolate and White
sponsored for you by none other than The Greeting Farm the home of the fabulous Ian & Anya range and so much more!...........be sure to pop over to their site and drool over the gorgeous things they have to offer........................i am so in love with the Vintage Birds set :)
The DT were given some digi images to work with and i decided to choose '50's Sweethearts' for my card today. After several attempts to get the colouring right, even though i did heat set the ink i still had a problem with their faces...............so they look like they've made a mistake with the fake tan!!....and we have a problem with streaks!!! I do love to colour my images with Distress Inks, but was getting frustrated with the outcome, so in this instance I reverted to my watercolour pencils.
Can you see her blushing?....................He's just asked her to marry him!

I have to schedule this post to co-incide with the girls in the U.S. and for the timing of the challenge going live......................................i can hardly wait till i wake up to see what the other girls on the team have done with the challenge each week :)
