ME.......

My Nephew is doing his Confirmation today, so the colours came at a perfect time to make something 'boyish' (which I tend not to do unless I need to!). I thought I could combine the colour challenge with something for the confirmation and save a little time.   I started making the candle, intent on using my copic markers- however with the 69 that I do currently own, I didn't have the right colours- doh!!  The green was a little too bright and the blue was not dark enough! 

Back to the drawing board, I started again with a card instead (so much for saving time-lol!).  This time i paper pieced (yes Ange that's right- i cut all the little pieces out with scissors, surprise surprise!!- lol)  giving me the correct colours this time!  You may not be able to see it in the photos,  but I have used crystal effects on Trevor's boots, belt and balloon.  I have used the Card Patterns:Sketch 67 with the Curtain Call Colours
