I think I need to ask the powers that be to move the Technique Challenge to another day. I wake up on Monday with a long list of things to do and that list is continually delayed by the length of time it takes me to Learn A New Technique. Enough Already!
Today I though for sure that my hair was either going to be gray by the end of this card, or be pulled completely out. Darn, this was a hard challenge!
The only whites I have are Stazon and Brilliance. neither worked well for my purposes. I eventually went with Brilliance, but then tried to make the card look somewhat decent by covering up what I had just worked so hard on for the challenge.
Whew...I am off to take some Excedrin now.

Oh hon...so sorry you had such a difficult time with the challenge. Your efforts did turn out well, though. And remember, just because the TLC is posted on Monday, you can play at anytime...not just on Mondays. Make it easy on yourself and play when it's convenient for you. Monday hugs for you!

It's a lovely card; if you found it so hard to make it sure doesn't show. I used Brilliance Moonlight too .
Your little turtle is so cute and your colouring is just WOW!!!
