Just quickly popping this up today as it closes very soon, running to time as per usual with things...lol! I am always keeping an eye on challenges here and there and this month I thought I would try out a new challenge (well new to me).
The Skissedilla Sketch #174, caught my eye straight away...love the white space, love the butterflies, love the circle and love the freedom to create a cool background! Awesome sketch for the creative mood I was in last week.
I have two little boys who LOVE Dinosaurs, one more so than the other, so when their grandparents gave them a talking dinosaur each, they were over the moon excited!!!
The background paper is some older Glitz paper and the the diecut behind the photo is an older Basic Grey doiley just ripped up. I was in the mood for something simple, not too much in the way for fussy embellishments...loved the colours and how this turned out.
"Talking Dinos"
Had a little fun with this background, its a combination of Shimmerz Blingz, Embossing Powders for more of a dramatic effect, and the green masking is using some PanPastels.
Okay I better be off and get some things done, won't be long and it will be school pick up time!
Thanks for visiting and I hope to visit you all very soon :))
Oh and THANKS A MILLION for all your special words you left me on my last layout..it meant to much to me to hear from you.
