Late for the Challenge!


This little lady was originally going to be popped on a card for Kristina Werner's last challenge, Basic Black, Basic Gray and Whisper White. I began to colour her in last week - but then life got in the way and I missed out on getting her finished in time for the challenge. I also realised that the watercolour paper is more Very Vanilla than Whisper White anyway - so I put her away for a couple of days. But she looked so sad sitting unloved on my table that I decided she needed a card where she was the centre of attention. I decided to use Going Gray instead of the darker Basic Gray - and added a dash of Pretty in Pink too. I was a bit worried she'd look too dull - but I'm really happy with how she ended up!

Added bonus - I got to play with my new nesties again - LOL!
