The Pencil Case - M = More Than One!

Hello! Happy Saturday! How is everyone? Good I hope!

We have a new challenge over on THE PENCIL CASE blog this fortnight and our theme is More Than One, so use more than one of the same thing on your project.  As always the DT is showcasing the incredible LYRA REMBRANDT POLYCOLOR PENCILS.

This time we are sponsored by the gorgeous…
………who are very kindly offering an amazing prize so check out THE BLOG for details.

It is a sad fact of life that sometimes we have to make those difficult cards for people who have suffered a loss and this is the reason for my make this time.  My friend tragically lost her son in a freak accident on the rugby pitch 10 years ago.  Her bravery and fortitude has amazed and humbled me and I always send her something to let her know that I remember and am thinking of her.
A simple CAS design is best suited for this I think and this exquisitely beautiful, ethereal image, MAGICAL DAISY DANCER speaks of poignant reflection to me.  I have to confess that on my original version I totally mucked up the background so I decided to cut MOST of her out and decoupage her onto an uncoloured version…I’m so glad I did! The original background was HORRIBLE!! J
Ingredients:

Dies: NONE!!
Card/Paper: Neenah Solar White –Stash Stuff
Colouring: LYRA REMBRANDT POLYCOLOR PENCILS (Colours used listed on THE PENCIL CASE BLOG)
