Can't resist a dare

Natalie at Scrapbook Challenges scared me with her sketch, then dared me to take it on!  She very kindly offered a tutorial, and I did the first two steps then took it away in my own direction, as you do.  I was actually working on a very serious, elegant page at the time, so it was nice to delve into primary colours for an hour or two.
Again, my misting is improving (need to get some more colours though) and it was nice to get Natalie's encouragement to doodle.  Quite restrained doodling for me; I am learning when to stop.  The story is actually true and unembellished, and I'm pleased I put the whole story on the page.  I would love to get a 12x12 printer (do they exist?) so I don't have to do the whole print-on-vellum-then-pretend-I-didn't thing.
