This week's Whiff of Joy challenge is to use teal and orange. EEEEEKKKKKKK! So out of my comfort zone! I am not a fan of orange!
Any way here is my attempt.I watercoloured Charlotte and distressed the background. I used my deckled nesties to cut her and the matt out. I have kept the dp subtle, I did ponder the brighter sheets ... but had second thoughts! I layered up some flowers and added a charm and some lace. Finally I added stickles for the buttons and details on Charlotte's outfit - well princesses need sparkle!
I am going to enter this into Katharina's GDT spot ... more subtle than the other entry LOL!!
Karen has passed this fab award onto me:
Thanks, hun. I have to tell you 5 things about me:
- I don't like chocolate ... except for malteasers!
- I'm a closet Take That fan (love their stuff since re-forming)
- My favourite band of all time is The Vapours
- I hate ice-cream
- I'm not good at telling people things about myself LOL!

This card is gorgeous but I'm with you on these sort of colours I tend to avoid them too.
