CR84FN with Retro Sketches...




Have you tried a Retro Sketch yet... this week is the first week of Retro Sketches, with this cool sketch - loving the retro look!!!  

I find it so much easier creating with bold colour combinations rather than muted neutrals - I guess that's why they call them Challenges!!!  I fell in love with this gorgeous alphabet panel, taken from Bo Bunny's Back to Basics, and it was perfect for this fortnights CR84FN Colour Challenge.  The "U" was originally in red, so I made one in grey and yellow to match the colour palette. Other papers are a combination of Echo Park Spots & Stripes and Little Yellow Bicycle Fresh Print.  I just love this sentiment from My Favourite Things, The Great Outdoors.

May all your storms have rainbows.
