| "Nutcracker Prince" from Aurora Wings |
613 Ave C's latest is Anything Goes with an optional twist of "Create Your Own Challenge" using this fun little chart by Kathi Silvi:
I chose to use a Tag, Christmas and Gold/Metallic as my three items and then scored this great image from our sponsor - Aurora Wings to showcase. You have one week till Sat, Sep 5 to put something together (in either category) for the challenge. If you need some inspiration - you should see the projects of the incredible team that Chana and Kathi have put together!
My intent is to use this as a tag/bookmark for a gift of a book at Christmas. But a moment of candor... does anybody else think his boots look like they are on backwards? It's my coloring of the highlights I'm sure. Back to the drawing board to figure out how to change the light on the toe of the boots - LOL! Coloring is such a long learning process of trial and error - and I have to figure out how to turn his feet to the front again! Now I can't look at him with out seeing that.
