Guest Designer at Forever Friends

I was asked to be a guest designer at Forever Friends for the new challenge PASTEL COLORS. The challenge is being sponsored by Whoopsi Daisy. Stop by the Forever Friends blog to see the challenge details.

I have to admit, I messed up my project. For some reason, I had it in my head that it was a birthday challenge and I completely missed the pastel colors challenge. I’m not sure how I did that. I can only plead that I had too much going on and it made me a space cadet.

For my card, I used one of the adorable images supplied by Whoopsi Daisy and my card design was inspired by this card at Handmade Creations by Stephanie.

I hope you will join the Forever Friends PASTEL COLORS challenge.

While you are here, don’t forget to check out my Color Your World blog candy.

This is sooo cute! I bought the Copic Coloring Guide and I think I am already doing better, I now understand that you have to BLEND the colors together. I posted a Winnie the Pooh card that I made on my blog, if you get a chance will you stop by? It is no where are good as yours but ok for a beginner.
