Love the watercoloring–very beautiful! I did some watercoloring the other night and it reminded me how much I love it. Thanks for sharing!

I was never too keen on Summer Sun myself since I don’t love bright yellows, but I have seen some very nice color combos using it lately (in our new Design papers, among other things) so I am slowly warming up to it. I actually finished a pack while working on a swap last week. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the pack was empty, I just never thought I would see the day!

I think you have used the color combo beautifully. I guess that’s what challenges are for, to push us forward. (And it’s funny how clients often will pick up that one card you’re not too sure about and be all complimentary about it! I guess you need to have a variety of cards to appeal to everyone…)

Great job on both challenges!

Funny about Summer Sun, I was unpacking an order today and pulled out a pack of Summer Sun….I thought who would order that? Well, that person was me and I’d done so because of our new DSP…… Seems it may be a challenge for me too! I really love both of these cards, TFS. Bec.

Hi Keesh,
Your birdy card made me laugh- could you have used LESS Summer Sun?
It looks great though!

Hi Keesh! Your 1st card is lovely and you have used Summer Sun perfectly in this card! Your colouring is lovely too!

The second card is great as well - those colours are so nice aren’t they!
I printed out that sketch ages ago - have it glued in my visual arts diary but thats as far as I went! lol

Hey, great chatting to you today!!

Luv Dot!

I don’t know that I’d call Summer Sun “REVOLTING” but it’s not my favourite colour….better get used to it though it’s a predominant colour in these Good Morning Sunshine papers, I love them!!!!
