Lovely Blooms...Just Us Girls Challenge #447~Wild Card Week

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #447~Wild Card Week, where our wonderful Vicki has decided to open the floodgates with an 'Anything Goes' theme! In addition, she's giving away a prize (random draw) if we get over 75 entries! Enter as often as you want and...go WILD!!


If you've come from - or are heading to - the challenge blog, you'll see an array of fabulous cards from our June Guest Designer, ever-so-talented Hannelie Bester (THANK YOU so much for sharing your incredible talents with us this month, Hannelie!)  - and my talented teammates: Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa, Maria.

Today, I'm sharing two cards, the panels designed over the course of the 30 Day Colouring Challenge. Inspiration for the left one came from Michelle, of The Card Grotto fame; the second (on the right) was my attempt to try some colour blends of my own, inspired by the current book cover over at The Library Challenge #10~The Rose Garden.  Still a HUGE learning curve with my zigs! Haven't given up on them just yet *grin*

NOTE: Honoured and thrilled to receive Librarian's Choice recognition, alongside two other designers. THANK YOU!

Looking forward to seeing your *Anything Goes* creations in the gallery!

How totally gorgeous these are! Fabulous colours. I find the Zigs are quite different to use from alcohol markers - a bit more challenging for me, but the colours are so vibrant. You used them perfectly here. Thanks for joining The Library.
