Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #7

Hello everybody,

I hope you had a wonderful Memorial-Day
-Weekend. We went to Pensacola and spent a couple hours at the beach, visited the museum ..... We had fun and beautiful weather!

I want to show you 2 cards today.
The first one I made for Dawn McVey's color challenge:
Okay, to be honest: I wanted to use exactly this DP and there is obviously no Raspberry in it. So please, just think that the pink pirouette may look a liiiittle bit raspberry-ish, okay =) ?

It's a simple layout but I really like the color combo. I embossed the Always Artichoke with the swirl-embossing plate from SU and "colored" the swirls with a glitter pen - irl it looks fantasic - unfortunately you can't see it in the picture....

And the second card was made from some scraps I had laying on my desk ...

Thank you for stopping by - comments are very much appreciated ;-)
Hugs Tanja

Ohh! I see what you mean now! Hahaha You can use the MS Paint software on your computer. It's under 'Accessories'. Open the file in that and under Images, pick Skew/Stretch. Then pick a percentage smaller than 100%. I normally pick 35%. And then save and upload it again. Hope this helps Tanja!
