Baby's 1st Christmas

Today is the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter  and the theme is "For a child" so I have used this cute image called Christmas Stocking 

I used paper from Simple Stories Claus and Co collection for the background and coloured the image in to match. I cut around the image and attached it to the background with 3d foam and a small silver gem to look like a nail head. I added a few glittery silver stars from Doodlebug and two larger stars from Simple Stories. 

I used Harolds ABC alphabet stamps from Lawn Fawn to spell out Baby's First Christmas and finally added some star dust stickles to the fur and bobble of the hat. 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image - 

Skin - Antique white, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice with Cocktail pink cheeks. 

Leaves - Forest green, Pine & Holly.

Bow & Hat - Poppy, Ruby, Cardinal red & Burgundy

Stocking - Lime Green & Pear Green. 

Shadow - Warm Grey 1 & 2 

Hair - Warm Grey 5 & 3

Fur - Powder Blue

She is adorable.

Morning all
Its a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter and the theme is "BACK TO SCHOOL." I have used an image called She is adorable.

I used paper from Echo Park - Teachers pet collection and layered these in the base card. I then used Lawn Fawn stitched hillside board and stitched edge board on the white base. I coloured the image and then cut around her before sticking her onto the card with 3d foam. I used some glaze on her glasses and alphabet stamps to spell out the greeting. Finally I added some colour co-ordinating enamel dots.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image-
Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral, Spice with Antique pink lips and Baby pink cheeks.
Shoes - Red, Ruby & Burgundy.
Skirt - Warm grey 5 to 2.
Top - Honeydew & Pastel green.
Hair - Buttercup, Pineapple Crush, Mustard & Sleigh Bells.
Jumper - Tan & Satin.
Bag - Dove grey & Reef blue.
