I have had some excitement as well ... my first mixed media card (here) has been highlighted in the first challenge on The Mixed Media Card Challenge blog I am so honoured to be chosen from among some brilliant artists. If you are into mixed media pop along tomorrow for the next challenge.
Back to today's contribution ... I had an idea ... and I tried and tried to make it work ... this is my final attempt, not quite what I imagined:
I used the sketch and colours for this week's challenge at {CAS} Colours and Sketches as a starting point. I don't own the Stampin Up colours listed so had to improvise by using Versafine Smokey Gray to stamp the image, Scattered Straw Distress Ink to create a colour wash and to add shadow and finally used some aqua cardstock as a layer for the third colour. The stamp is from Heartfelt Creations - Blooming Dahlia Precut set.
These are the challenges:
