No backing papers

This weeks CMLI sketchie was set by GDT Nicola and the theme was no backing papers.  I decided to make my own backing for a change by stamping this checked pattern in orange and then ditressing round the edge of the card in yellow.  I don't have distress inks and so I had to get creative and used water colour paints!  While I had them out I decided to colour the image in water colours for a change too.  It is not the best card I have ever made, but I had fun doing it and it is a little bit different to my norm.

It may be a change from your norm but it's very cute Louise

It's always good to stray from the norm every now and again. The bright yellow has certainly put a smile on my face. I love the water coloured image, I bought myself some which I'm dying to try some time!
