My favorite colors

Hello dear friends

Over at the Midweek Magnolias challenge blog we have a reminder of the ongoing challenge "Favorite color".

Do not miss out, but come and play with us HERE
Magnolia Sweden is our sponsor
It's hard to choose just one color, but mye favorite has to be pink and purple. So I made a card with both ♥

I love challenges, and spesially to be challenged my self to try out new things.

This time I was challenged by Elizabeth to try out nolines coloring.
You find Elizabeth's blog here with a lot of super tutorials of coloring, and I was using her tutorial for nolines.
A bit scary, but you learn a lot if you just to jump in and try :)

Nolines gives a very soft look, and I was so scared to damage the image.

A little backwards as I only could have made a new one if I did. LOL
