The new Delicious Doodles Challenge this week is all about clean and simple. No added embellishments! I find this one of the most difficult types of cards. I always want to add something more.
This is the new Holly Sugar Skull from the pen of Teri who is Delicious Doodles.
Starting off with a white card, I brushed "burnt sienna tint" pan pastel over it. CAS is about loads of empty space not loads of white space after all.
I needed a sentiment this is on the die-cut paper.
The sugar skull itself has been painted with perfect pearls for that extra sheen.
I did add a few swirls, highlighted with the same pan pastel. I couldn't resist it.
So it's bring those CAS cards to Delicious Doodles Challenges folks and show us how it's done - your way.

Croms this is amazing! You'd never think a skull could be festive, but Teri's artwork is amazing! I love your take on CAS. The shimmer on the holly is beautiful - well done for catching it on camera cos that's so difficult.
