How Dare You No. 11 - Using PPP

Hi everyone, well another great Dare is up on the How Dare You site, it is using anything that starts with the lettler "P"Can be "P" Products, "P" Theme, "P Colours whatever.

A couple of examples are - punches, paperclips, paisley, paint, pens, pink with a P theme like:........people, places, passion, photography, prince/princess, personalities.

So I hope you have a go at this, you will find it is a lot of fun.

Well this is my dare, I had a fun time with this layout, firstly I drew the background and then painted it using watercolours, then I drew a couple more flowers and 3D them on top of my background, and highlighted the background image with black pen. I also cut out some flowers and stems from patterned paper and added it to this layout to give it some depth. I also used plenty of Prima Flowers, another "P" oh and pink. Michelle Grant did an excellent job with this Dare.

I think my points were 85.

Oh thats right I didn't tell you, you can win a prize for the most used P's so that makes it even more fun.

Have a great weekend.
Carole.

Hey there Carole,
I have a question... Do you ever get tired of hearing me say the word GORGEOUS? Because each and every design you do is... very GORGEOUS! I am coming to the conclusion that the word GORGEOUS was made just for you!
So yes... another amazing, stunning, and gorgeous design!

Oh I did you sketch.. I gave myself a bunch of challenges when I did it. NO DIMENSION! LOL Take a peek when you get the chance. I hope you have a great weekend..

Miss ya dear friend! Hugs..
