"Tanned Leather & Denim"!!

That's what these gorgeous colours remind me of. They are also

the two colours required for the Colour Create challenge, so for

the first time I shall throw caution to the wind and enter it!!!

You never know!!!

So, the image is another one of the Beautiful Sarah Kay which

I have coloured using my Reeves Water Colour pencils.

For the distressing I have used Tim Holtz (faithful distressing

friend), Not literally!! Vintage Photo! I have also used Glossy

Accents to the edges and highlighted areas. The stamped

sentiment is PB, buttons, brads, lace, ribbon and flowers

from stash. Punched butterfly and added pearls.

Papers are HOTP Journey and K & Co recycled remake Ocean Blues

What Susanmason Means

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way.
And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life.
You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it.

You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic “Type A” personality.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.
You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want.
You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life.
You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you.
At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself.
