White with 1 July

This month's challenge was Marsala.

This had me rummaging around my scrap room some until I had the great idea to open a   bottle of red wine and use it! (I don't even drink red wine). DH suggested beetroot  would be a better  match so I open a tin and test it - pretty good, correct shade but lighter tone. By then the texture paste  was dry on my base, so on went the beetroot juice, some random tipping and some brushing. I built up some  further layers under my chiffon photo matt, and added some darker marsala tones in the lace and the flowers. I used a cute label for the title Uno momento - One Moment. All done phew! Sigh of relief lol

Thanks for a real challenge this month White with 1! Easy colour next month?
