This was something I whipped up real quick for the latest Stampotique Design Challenge. It didn't really turn out like I had envisioned, but at least I got it done within the 2 week time frame this challenge. The last two challenges I've been too late for.

I painted the girl completely with Twinkling H2Os. When I started this I used some pink paper with foil highlights, but there was something about the paper that wasn't working for me. I then did several dry brush strokes with white gesso across the paper and now I like how it turned out. But I don't like the banner with the "Dangerously Sweet" sign, I think I should have chosen one or the other. Oh well......what's done is done.

    Your card is great and the banner looks just fine. Know what its like when you feel something just doesn't quite gel though.

    Hugs

    Love this, Shannon! Especially how you added the gesso to the background... and I can imagine how wonderfully sparkly the twinkling h2o's are IRL :)
