Mo's Challenge #25 - Pastel Shades

Talk about timing!!!! I week or so I go I was lamenting I didn't have many Copic pastels so I treated myself to a few from Sammi's Mad for Markers online store - and this week Mo's Challenge team have asked us to use pastel shades on our creations! It was a great opportunity to play with my new pens and see what they could do. I used my new Neenah paper from Sammi too - it's great to have this product available Downunder!

It's taken me a while but I have finally worked out how to combine 2 digital images into one. I thought these gals looked soo cute together - but I think one of them may be afflicted by the green-eyed monster! I know there are a few tutorials on combining images in photoshop - but I use Paint.NET so they weren't working for me - but they gave me some ideas which helped me sort it out.

I got the cute hand made crochet flowers from my friend Alison - who is an amazingly creative SU demonstrator! The DP is from my Basic Grey Kioshi paper pad and the blue corner pieces were cut out with my new baby - my Craft ROBO - I managed to get a brand new one second hand, it had never come out of the box! It's a very early birthday present my hubby didn't know about until just the other day - LOL! Have just started to play with it - it's soo much fun - now to learn how to create my own files!

I've enjoyed bringing the softer shades out on a card - especially after my last hot pink and black card - LOL.

Wishing you all a little softness in your day!
