Well I managed to do the card for this weeks challenge, with things being a bit hectic this end I wondered if I would get time, well a managed to trash my front room in the process, to look at it now and the mess I made you'd think Id made 20 cards lol
The card is made with papers from the latest Designer Extreme II disc at Bearly Mine Designs
lots of yummy papers to fit any colour combination you choose..... very helpful to me as I have colour blindness with some shades !!! They are labelled yellows, blues, purples etc
The image is a stamped one kindly sent to me by my good friend Donna, thanks xx, I coloured with water colour pencils.
I had a bash at distressing .....but it got ME distresses rather than the image, I used water colour and some eye shadow from a pallette I dont use ( never let it be said that we cant improvise !!!) then found my chalks eventually (must have moved them when having a de-clutter) well between all those attempts it got distressed of a sort .... my inks are with my granddaughter who is busy with a project for school, I hope this is a technique I can improve on, fingers crossed.
The sentiment is computor generated.
The flowers are my first attempt with FredSheSaid flowers I really like the result, even though I dont cope too well with the fiddly cutting out ... I think the flowers just finished the card off nicely. I added a bit of sparkle to the petals and the gemstones are from my stash.

Oh Cathy I do like this card, it's all sp pretty in purple, you've done a lovely job on the image, and of course the papers are lovely and match well together, and those flowers are gorgeous. I do like working with them. You've done a marvelous job using Kimmi's sketch.

Wowee Cathy, you sure have made a fab card from Kimmi´s sketch. I adore your image and wonderful colouring and I agree these papers from Bearly Mine cd´s are simply the best and I love your choice. Your flowers are awesome and I am still sat here giggling with you and 200 cards - have to admit I am the same myself.
