Diva Challenge #163 - Rixty!

Thank you Laura - your post and challenge this week was full of love and lovely children. And as I undertook this one, my own children were watching a bizarre film called 'Coraline' which I am sure influenced my tangling. It's not dark, as was the film, but it definitely has a bizarre quality to it and I don't recognise it as 100% something 'mine'! But I was feeling full of love when I did it, so perhaps that explains the large Mooka 'heart'...?

Rixty has a cartoon quality to it and so my tile has a very black, white and red theme. I really enjoyed it and hope you'll let me know what you think.

Happy Easter to you all.

Rixty, Mooka, Aqua, LaBel

      Thank you BS - I love shading but don't usually use much colour. I'm so glad it seems to work both together here. Axxx

      Thank you Beewatch - interestingly, I'd just had a wonderful weekend. Maybe the passion comes from living in Spain! Axxx

      Be bold, I say! I recently used Agua and liked it, hence its appearance here in the border. Thank you, Annette. Axxx

    That is so pretty! I love the red on it. I listen to music when I create... and upon seeing this, one of my favorite songs came to mind. Garth Brook's "The Red Strokes" :) Simply gorgeous!

      Thank you Kelly! I usually have the television on and watch a programme popular in the UK called 'QI' which isn't very 'visual' but which is very amusing and that always puts me in the mood for tangling. I will check out the Garth Brook's song...Axxx

    Love the red color on this. It just pops out when your blog opens. The shading adds a very subtle nuance to it that really highlights the tangles.
