Good Morning to you all my wonderful crafty friends.
I hope you are well and having a good week so far. Sending hugs to those on need of them.

In the spotlight 
Please use The Spotlight Technique - there is a fab tutorial on this here

So here's my card. I must admit that it did feel a bit strange not colouring the whole image but hopefully it works okay.

Sentiment - Clearly Besotted A Little Sentimental

If you take a look at the Passion for Promarkers Challenge you will see the wonderful inspiring creations made by this week's design team.

I would like to enter my card into the following fabulous challenges:
Scribble and Scrap - Always Anything Goes
Creative Corner - Sing, sing a song (Piano Man by Billy Joel)



Thank you so much for taking the time to stop and look at my blog today. I really to appreciate it and I love the read any comments you may wish to make

    My dear friend, you did this challenging technique to perfection! (As you do with every technique.) I love the area you chose for the spotlight, as it gets a little bit of everything... and I still cannot get over how incredibly you color animals. Simply exquisite. I love the circular paper to coordinate with the technique and the musical flourish is gorgeous. Beautifully done as always, Sue! I hope you're having a lovely week. :o)

    Hugs and blessings!
