Truly Scrumptious

Wow 2 posts in one day, i saw the sketch on the truly scrumptious challenge blog and i just had to have a go at it, i really like the way this one has turned out. used papers from the red hot capsule by papermania although i was a little disappointed cause they are not red their more pink, but nice all the same. Image is whiff of joy musing Melinda, she's coloured with distress inks this was my first real go at using these I'll keep practicing but i really did enjoy using them.
