Perfect Day - at All Dressed Up!

Evening all - Just got home from work so updating this post with some very exciting news to make this ace Friday (All Fridays are ace if I have the weekend off!) an even better day - some may say Perfect Day.

The All Dressed Up challenge teams - facebook and blog are after some more Design Team members! Its a great team and a brilliant oppourtunity for you cards markers out there to get your hands on these beautiful images before they are released. To see the full details just click on the banner below and follow the link... AND for every comment left on the challenge blog post you will be entered into a chance to win 3 image of your choice - for doing nothing at all really!!!

To celebrate this I have used an image called Perfect Day which you can get from the Etsy shop by just clicking on the title.

I used a Lawn Fawn die to cut a frame to look like a polaroid and cut some black card to look like picture holders. The greeting banner is from Websters pages Beautiful chic collection and was a last minute addition but I think it works well as the colours and sentiment are perefect. The flowers are from Prima and the sequins from Teresa Collins. Finally I added a few gems here and there!

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image-
Skin - Antique white, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral, Spice and Baby Pink cheeks.
Hair - Buttercup, Pineapple crush and Sleigh bells.

Stamping Bella Challenge and colour mapping

I made today's card for the latest Stamping Bella layout challenge. I love the stamped images - this one has been out for a bit but is new to me and this is the first time I've coloured it with Promarkers.

This is the Sketch that the challenge was to make a card based on.

The background papers are from Websters Pages - Beautiful Chic. Its is a really stunning collection so expect to see much more of them!  I added glaze to the bath to make it look like the old traditional enamel type - I also added some to the Champagne Glaze glass. I also added loads of Stickles glitter to the bubbles and on her leg to make it look wet and shiny.

I added green Doodlebug pearls and some Pink gem stones. The greeting is from Jillibean - Soup Labels and I raided my ribbon stash to find some matching the bath colour to tie it altogether.

The Promarker colours I used are  -
Bath - Burgundy & Maroon.
Hair - Vanilla, Pineapple Crush & Sleigh Bells
Bubbles - Carmine & Baby Pink
Cushion - Meadow Green, Apple Cider & Holly
