This is so totally not my usual style. It was fun to be stretched and challenged. The inspiration challenge was based on swimwear. This swimsuit: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
had olive, hot pink, turquoise and chocolate as it's colors. I was also inspired by a folder that I have on my desk. I traced the design onto my cardstock. I colored with markers. I used colored pencils to get the brown background. I highlighted with a gold marker. I added some jewels and pierced around the edges and pierced two flourishes at the bottom. Let me know what you think.
