So for this next week's challenge, Brenda chose this yummy color combo:
So super pretty, don'tcha think?! I just love these colors together. Now remember, there's a twist with your creations, you must add a water element as well!
Isn't she precious? I got the image for joining the Progressive Challenge on the CDAC. To find out how you can join in the fun, click here. I had to make some minor changes to my embellies :). The lace ribbon was stark white, and I wanted to soften it a bit so what I did was steep a hot cup of tea and let the lace soak for a few hours in the tea (which is a new technique I've been dying to try but a little intimidated by). The pearls on the butterfly were white and I colored them with my B95 Copic to match the blues on the card.
