You Make me Smile...

Welcome to the Colour Crazy Challenge
I am pleased to be a permanent designer now at
this wonderful challenge blog.
We are sponsored for this challenge by Crafty Sentiments!

I used an ombre effect for the night sky with a blend of
Distress Oxide Inks, a water reaction, and some white paint
splattered over the sky. The image is colored with Copic
 markers and liquid pearls for the little polka dots.
 Lots of glitter and fake snow was used for dimension.
