The colour scheme is derived from the challenge at The Outlawz Challenge.  I have used three papers from DCWV matstacks - background, matting and heart.  The matting is cut using a Spellbinder die and the heart using a Marianne's die.  I have also added three pearls from Rosies Studio.  Colouring is with copic markers RV04, RV02, BG05, BG01, V17, V15 and E00.

  8. Stunning colouring ....non traditional perhaps but your colours work so well together that perhaps you've started a tradition for the future Suze.

    Thank you for sharing this lovely card in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx ( OSAAT Team )
