Delightful Challenge


This weeks Delightful Challenge was a difficult one at first. This week you are to use no Designer Paper & no embellishments. It was hard to not reach for ribbon or other embellies. I embossed the base for texture. Punch Mettallic frames the image and gives some shine. Lili Skunk & Skunk Sentiments was printed twice. The first one I colored and the second one I just colored the flowers and cut them out to give the image a bit of dimendsion. Have fun creating and check out the wonderful DT's projects. All papers are from Paper Temptress.
