This is the new colour challenge over at CSI
These purple and lavender shades are never my "go to" colours and I wasn't sure what to do with them at first. Fortunately I had this photo to work with and I love the way it turned out.
We looked after Esther overnight and the photo was taken in the bath, the 5.2 seconds she actually sat down in the water. She loves to walk around, splash and do anything but get washed. Don't let the innocent smile fool you !!
I used a sketch by the very talented Emma Stafrace to kick start my mojo. Thanks Em.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful page Helen, the mix of vintage style papers with the more structured sketch really makes it a striking page, how cute is your little grandbaby too btw!
ReplyDeleteI really love that flower :D is it punches? I am such a huge fan of your work :D thank you for sharing all your stories with us.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping in Val, always a pleasure to see you. The flower is made the Magnolia brand Doohickey Flower die. It comes in two parts and is really easy to use :)
