My first Michelle Perkett Image




I have admired some of these images for a while now and in search of my long gone mojo, I decided I would make time to treat myself to a few new images. This is, I am sure, the first of many.

I have made this card for this week's challenge over on Michelle Perkett Studio Blog where this week there is a sketch to follow. Now I am not very confident with sketches but here goes:




I loved colouring this image despite the colours not being my "usual, comfortable" colours. AS I was playing around with the sketch I came across this mad idea to use the oval as a little flower garden....but both Chris and Jack looked at me as if I was mad so I didn't persue my explaination. Hopefully YOU may see where I am coming from...please!!!!!
