Try Something New!

Today is my first post as DT for the 7 Kids Challenge Blog!
I am very happy to be part of their team and the challenge for this week
is to Try Something New.
 Just use a new technique, idea, or product.  
Here's the card I made for this challenge
Coloring with my copics on kraft paper was really
something new for me to try.
It's a little bit tricky because the usual colors 
might not work, I had to use darker shades to 
get through the dark paper.
Liked the result, although not really happy 
...just have to keep practicing.
Tell me what you think.

Here's a closer look..
.
flowers from Kaisercraft, and the sentiment is made up
using my computer. Papers are from the Love Me and Fun Day Col 
from My Minds Eye. Other: old heart button, small black brads.

Try something new and show it to us!
Place  your project at 
 by Tuesday at Midday CST! 
Hugs,

  6. Hi Frances. Your card is absolutely beautiful! Love the Tilda..the way you've colorized her and set her on the stitched rectangle. So pretty! The layers of papers you've used coordinate so well and the flowers and flourish are the perfect embellishment! Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
