Girls Night

I've been wanting to use this fun sketch from Paper Secrets since I saw it and wasn't sure I was going to be able to squeeze it in before the deadline but life cooperated with me and I was able to get it done.  As part of the challenge you had to use bling as well. I put bling all around my charcoal doily and between my little banner.  That's a new punch I bought yesterday...isn't it cute?! 

 

So I chose to combine with it another challenge I've been wanting to participate in as I find a good color challenge really pushes me to think outside my comfort zone of picking a newer line and going for it.  I chose to use this color challenge from Color Me Scrappy.

 

 

The twist was to use misting or paint. I painted the edge of the layout and the doily the dark grey color. I even pulled out some very old foam stamps I'd never used and stamped the flower on the aqua doily and then cut it in half. Then I had to sprinkle some mist.   

Here is my take on it:
