AC160 Favourite!

Good afternoon everyone!  It has turned decidedly cooler today and my toes are curling up under the desk!  This winter I am definitely going to be buying myself a little heater to go under there lol!

Thank you to everyone who played along with our Licorice and White challenge!!  We had an amazing collection of monochromatic cards to see and were blown away by the inspiration!  But there can only be one winner for our challenge $15.00 Discount Coupon and this week congratulations goes to....Sanketi with this stunning one layer card :

Topical Tuesday #62 - Turn the Page

Hi all!  Well here it is my turn again to bring you this week's TT, and I had to think long and hard about what to do and came up with this...my second mixed media page!  Really what I was wanting to do was 'try' out my new Faber Castell Gelatos and markers, so that's what I did, sometimes you just need to get in there and have a play!  I made mistakes but honestly had such a fun time doing it!  You'll have to forgive the middle part of the video as I taped it at night and the glare from my lamp left me blind to half of what I was doing lol!

Here's the final page :

The words I've simply printed from my computer because at this stage I'm just not brave enough to write them.  I did a number of calligraphy classes years ago in different styles, and must start again, it's all about practice!

And here is the video, I hope you enjoy!
Hugs for now,

Andrea
