Feeling Blue!!

Hello all you lovely people.

My how the time is flying by again isn't it?

So, am I feeling sad? Feeling a little blue? 

Well, I am a little sad yes.

You all know how excited I was to be asked to be a part of the Aurora Wings Design Team don't you? It was something I had always wanted and with the help of Alyce Keegan's colouring classes at Kit and Clowder (sorry, what? You have never heard of them?? Oh my, you don't know what you have been missing!  Why not pop along to the website and have a quick shufty at what's going on?  You may even learn something - I did - Plenty!! Lol) I applied at the last DT call and was accepted.

Sadly, due to the decline in entries into the challenge Mitzi decided that it was time to call it a day on the Challenge Blog - I was gutted.

However, I have loved Mitzi's images for a long long time and that isn't about to change any time soon.  So here is a card I made recently for a friend's 40th birthday.

Mind you, after the nightmare I had with it, let me tell you, it came very close to ending up in the bin!!

Not that the image isn't beautiful, of course it is.

But you know how it is when you have an idea in your head and it is all going great until you make an almighty c**k up of things? Well that's how this one went. Each time I thought I had put it right, I stepped away from it and DUH!! Nope, that just won't do!!

So, finally - attempt number six gazillion and one and it is done!!

I decided to go with the gorgeous Eye Butterfly image.

Here are the buying options should you decide you might like to purchase it.

Isn't it just the most beautiful image??

So, here is what I eventually managed to come up with.

I was going to add some flowers too but when I looked at the image, I thought "do you know what, it really doesn't need anything else!"

So I left it clean and simple. Simples! Hehehe.

So there you have it.  I do so love this image and I am glad I persevered with it.

Oh, by the way, Kit and Clowder have a facebook group too - it has 23,000 members and is one of the most friendly, supportive groups on Facebook.  Why not pop over and have a look and if you do decide to join any of Alyce's classes, it would be nice if you could mention that I sent you? Ta ever so.
