Anything but Square or Rectangle

Hi Everyone,

The current challenge at Saturated Canary Challenge Blog is .....

Anything but square or rectangle.

I have used the free digi (Canary Love) that Krista gave in February. I must admit that I was a little scared to colour it at first but love the way it turned out.

(I have to thank Mandi-Lee from Copic Me for the colour inspiration)

New Colour Combination

Hi Everyone

I am just loving the current challenge over at the Mad for Markers Challenge Blog.

It is ..... New Colour Combination.

It has made me use different copics & helped me get out of the rut of using my 'usual' colours that I love to play with.

For this image, I have used the R30 group.

Stamp: Dressy Kaylee - digi (Some Odd Girl)

Until next time
