I used the colour scheme but also tried to recreate a bit of the atmosphere of the painting for my card. The background was done using alcohol inks which I spritzed with water to give the 'dappled' finish, I added some Basic Grey patterned paper at the bottom because I thought it looked a bit like the houses in Van Gogh's painting I used some crinkly ribbon with a button attached (from a Christmas cracker) across the middle as it reminded me of the swirling cloud. My image is one of Leanne Ellis's from Sugar Nellie, it was coloured with promarkers and given the distress ink treatment around the image to make it look like night time.

Love the card Jenni I thought when I saw it it reminded me of The Starry Night.
Jenni I love your card what a fantastic new challenge I signed up last week and waited with baited breath now that I have seen the very first challenge all I can say is what a brilliant and inspiring idea this is.
