I'm Pretty Awesome!

The new challenge at Without Words Challenge this month is purple and green (but no Halloween), and although I love purple, I'm not much of a fan of green (cabbage, bugs, stinging nettles, frogs, bogies, that kind of thing).  This colour duo was therefore a bit of a challenge for me.

I've used one of my new Stamping Bella images called Amanda is Awesome, and used the sentiment that comes with her.  Apart from the skin and hair colours, I've managed to only use the required colours.

I've used my Copics which I've not used in a while, and even created a gradient frame background blending the two colours together from dark to light on plain white card before layering the image panel on top.  It didn't work out too bad!
