Angie's (ohmypapers!) Free for All challenge yesterday was to create big autumn coloured flowers.
This fun Grazia Salvo image has the girl holding a big basket of flowers.....I did a terrible job at the flowers, but instead of chucking it out, I kept it so I could practice colouring eyes.
Five minutes later she looked even worse so I put it in my recycle stash.
Enter Angie's inspiration challenge....The minute I saw that happy pineapple, I knew how I could salvage this.
I lopped off the contents of the basket, gave her a pair of sunnies and coloured her hair aqua. Job done.
Thank you for looking and I hope something inspires you to get inky soon.

Susie, this made me laugh - with you of course! I struggle to pull cards together and they go in the trash bin too. Then they come out again- sometimes. This is such a fabulous card I am so glad you found a way to salvage this gorgeous image. I am gobsmacked by how great these sunglasses look on this wonderful gal's face. And this hair- stupendous! You are the master of creativity my friend and I always enjoy reading your creative journeys too. ~Karen.
