Lilli Of the Valley at Sunset

Hello All,

I have managed to get into blogland a little today, I am trying my best to catch up with you all .... I will get there, although it may take a little time!

I have been watching Nicki from Polkadoodles, on create and craft, and I am always so impressed with the way she creates skies and backgrounds using her promarkers. I just really wanted to give it a try, although I have used my copics. Its my first attempt and I think it is a little ropey but I quite like the way it turned out ... Its definitely a technique that I will be trying out again! As I liked the way the picture turned out I decided to keep the card quite simple so it would stand out more.

This is my entry for:

LOTV - Peach and Green
Anything Goes - Pearls
Charisma Cardz - Weddings/Anniversarys
Crafty Catz - Embossing
Make it Colourful - Colouring skies
