My attempt at a Dawn McVey.....


.....not entirely satisfied with how it turned out, but I'm keeping it real here and putting up a couple of cards that maybe aren't my best work.

I was going for this look (a CASE of the fabulous Dawn McVey's work) but wanted to use the colours set down by Makeesha in her challenge: Basic Gray, Baja Breeze, Whisper White and Ruby Red. I'm not entirely sure I pulled it off. I think I will try this technique again with different colours.

The first card I did I was OK with until I realised I had used Kiwi Kiss (not in the colour challenge), so I scrounged through my leftover cardstock and came up with this for Makeesha.
Unfortunately I was too late! Keesh's challenge has closed! Nevermind. Make sure to check out the winner's gorgeous card - maybe I can get the next challenge done on time!

Let me know what you think. Love it? Hate it?

I love them Louise! And they work great with these colours from the challenge. And thanks for 'visiting' me.

Getting closer....

It's nearly that time of year, where the retirement list comes out.  That means the in-colours we've loved the past 2 years are leav...
