RIC #93 + CTS#144 + CASology #168: You

I spent a little too much time this week trying to channel my inner Ted Harrison after I saw the bright, colorful dress for Runway Inspired Challenge #93 but my hands and head just weren't in sync and I walked away from my desk for a while. 





Then I saw the wonderful sketch for CAS(E) the Sketch! #144 and started looking at using the RIC colors in a different way.




The CASology Week 168: You challenge helped me decide on which sentiment to use.

A number of Paper Smooches Fresh Snow snowflakes were die cut from watercolor paper and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brushes. {sigh} I am regretting that I only bought a box of 24 colors and know what will be going on my Christmas list this year.






It you aren't familiar with Ted Harrison, he is a Canadian artist whose distinctive, colorful paintings are instantly recognizable.  Can you see why I thought of him when I saw the Emilio de la Morena dress?


Boat (The), 1986


Thanks for stopping by,
