Mini VSN October

I did the challenges a bit out of order (lack of paying attention)  One challenge was to use the Spotlighting technique

Texan 947 When I first saw the theme for this VSN, I thought of one of my favorite sights. I absolutely love when the sky is gray and overcast and suddenly, there is a break in all those clouds and a little bit of sun comes through. I always think of it as a natural spotlight. So my challenge for you is to make a card using the spotlight technique
SU Card Stock and SU Bloomin Beautiful Stamp Set, Orchid Opalence Ink, Purple Dew Drops, SU Punches
 

GreyWolf's challenge....Make a card with soft cloud colors (like pale blue, pink, lavender) using pastels or chalks. For an optional treat, (not a requirement) use flower soft (or shredded Styrofoam) somewhere on your card if you have it. VSN challenges are so exciting that I sometimes get tense trying to think of ideas and get cards done in 45 minutes. Make a card that is relaxing to look at – but mostly just Have Fun! 

So using SU Card stock, SU Pastels, Spica Pen for her nails, eyes and nose, House Mouse All Warm and Fuzzy Gruffies, SU Punches, The white ribbon with wire is from Michaels

would be to use the Foxy Oxi technique to make a fun background for your card."
