I do like using this colour combo, although I was a bit concerned I would run out of black ink when printing. The girl is from Sheepski Designs, I always think of her as walking home after a party. She is called "Party Shoes#.

Pearly Sparkles - April, 2025
This month's theme is Monochromatic, as the grandchildren get older , especially for the males, the card making gets more difficult. I saw this verse, changed it a bit and thought great for a 20 year old.
I also added some some images from my stash and some black ribbon.

Crafters Cafe February 2025
Theme is Spots and/or stripes, and our sponsor is Sheepski. Please check out Andrea's blog for image details as she has shut down her etsy store.
I usually think laterally, and what better animal for a stripes challenge. "Skunk" is from Sheepski Designs. Colouring a black and white image was a challenge, but I think I got there.
The background is a patterned paper I have on my computer, I just took away the colours. The quote I found on the internet, I'm thinking Abraham Lincoln was very astute and I can think of a couple of people his would describe. lol.
