For me it had to be 'EllaBella' from IndigoBlu, she can look soft and feminine, bright and vibrant, vintage or modern, and when I'm lacking inspiration - she doesn't need much to make her look good - wish I could say that!
Stamped and heat embossed with Black EP and then out came the Brushos. My first few plays with these hadn't been very successful, too much water and too heavy handed with the 'sprinkles' equals 'mud' and so the Brushos were put in a drawer awaiting the' play day'. After a lovely messy and productive day last week, I'm quite pleased with the results. On this card I used Sea Green, love the blue and yellow shades.
Of course, I didn't stop at one
This time I used Violet and Purple and softened the edges with Dusty Concord DI. Simple cards, but perfect for posting!
I hope you will join us for this challenge and don't forget to pop over to the main blog for all the details and to see what my fellow teamies favourites are.

Fab backgrounds for your beautiful lady, :D Your booklet below is gorgeous too, lovely crafting Avril :D xx
It's amazing what a change of color can do the look of a card. These cards have the same image, layout and techniques used, but they look so different...
Two great cards. Love those backgrounds! Thanks for joining us at Crafty Catz this week.
Both of your cards are beautiful! I really like that image.

Scrumptious work with the Brushos - both colourways are great, but it won't be a surprise that the first one is my favourite!
