Digi Choosday Challenge – Week 17: Clean and Simple!

Hello!  Hope everyone is well!

It’s Choosday so it’s time for a new challenge over at DIGI CHOOSDAY and our theme this week is Clean and Simple!  As always we have a fab prize on offer so check out the BLOG for details.

Now CAS is a style that I much admire in others but rarely attempt myself. As the spotlight is usually on colouring it makes me a little nervous.  So of course I made it easy on myself (!!) and chose to use the amazing OCTAVIA WISTFUL! Nice one, Jane! J

I hope you saw Nikky the other week on Create and Craft.  If you did you would have seen the amazing OCTAVIA MOONFLY COLLECTION which is available in the STORE as a Big Kahuna Bundle download! It has so many delicious papers and embellies but as CAS was the order of the day I didn't use any of them!! Humph! J

Ingredients:

Image & Sentiment: OCTAVIA MOONFLY COLLECTION

Dies: None!!

Card: Neenah Solar White & various from stash

Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir markers & pencils

Others: Ropy faux stitching!

So with fairy-like grace flutter over to the blog where you will see so much gorgeous inspiration from the DT, and while you’re there why not join us for this fab challenge.   And don’t forget to check out Nikky’s magical designs in the store!

Thanks so much for looking and have a lovely day!

See ya!

Colourful hugs
