Simply Sassy Windswept

I have been having a play with my distress inks and watercolour paper, instead of the linen cardstock I have always stamped on ... I love the watercolour paper, just need to practise getting the shading right!
I'm also having a bit of a brown, and Sugar Nellie week!!
 This is Windswept - don't you love that hair!!  She is watercoloured and then I distressed the background and edges.  I kept the embellishments really simple, just some raffia and satin ribbon from my stash and a layered flower.  The gem brad and pearls are also from my stash.
 Challenges:
Simon Says Stamp - Coffee and Cream

Sketch Saturday - sketch
Pollycraft challenge - pearls and diamonds

And a CAS card ... do love these cards.
This is Joy, one of SN's digis, again printed on watercolour paper, and then coloured using distress inks.  I inked the edges in pink, and then all the white cardstock in pink.  Very simple.

Challenges:
The Sugar Bowl - sketch and CAS

I have been given this award by Valerie, thank you Valerie.


I will have a think about 7 random facts LOL!!  And would like to pass it on to everyone who follows and comments on my blog xx
