Housework can wait...


This image, 'Spring Cleaning' is one from Nana Vic's Digitals. Some of her images are available for free over at her group on the new CDAC site. While there, make sure you have a good look around. There are lots of other freebies and challenges to be found.

The sentiments for this one I made myself, as I felt it called out for a little humour....

I followed the current sketch at 2 Sketches 4 You. The simple lines worked well.

Water colours and a little glitter pen were used on the image, and a some glossy accents was added to the water in the pail. I used an embossing folder on the background mat and then added further detail by inking over the raised areas with a silver metalic ink pad.

Other challenges entered:
..Paper Sundaes - #25 White plus one other colour
...The Shabby Tea Room - #17 Let's Make and Impression
....Digi Doodle Shop - #15 Texture
.....Craftalicious Challenge - #3 Cute
......Aly's Sunday Challenge - #21 Red or White or Blue

    I really like when I get the chance to follow up on the link. I get to find out how you put the card together. I miss details when I'm only looking at the photo of the card and it helps me to visualize the card when I get to read the break down. I really do like the background effect you achieved. Thank you for sharing and good luck in any of the challenges your in this week. *Hugs*
