She is charming in Blue

Morning - the new challenge starting today at The paper shelter challenge blog has a Shades of Blue theme and I have used this gorgeous image called She is Charming 
I have coloured with Blue quite a lot recently and definitely find a combo I like and stick with it - I need to be more adventurous but I love how this made the folds in her dress look really deep. 

You can get this image from the shop and have a look at all the other fab images here  - The Paper shelter  

Have a great day,

Vintage Christmas - Holy Night

Todays new challenge over at I love Promarkers is Vintage / retro Christmas and the sponsor is The Paper Shelter. I have used an image called Holy Night.

This card is actually pretty simple. I covered the card base with Bo Bunny winter paper which has a lovely shimmer and glitter to the snowflakes. I used a Die cut snowflake boarder which I put some coordinating dark purple ribbon from American Crafts behind it. I also fixed a Craftworks card greeting into the die cut and used Crystal Stickers Glitter domes in the middle of the snowflakes and spread around to add some detail. I also used a silver pen and some diamond stickles to add detail to the clothing.

I used these Promarkers & flexmarkers to colour this image -
Skin - Spice, Coral, Soft Peach, Blush, Antique white & Baby Pink.
Hair - Satin, Terracotta, Burnt Sienna & Walnut.
Underjacket - Winter berry, Sugar plum & slate.
Top - Heather, Amethyst & Plum Preserve.
Cuffs and Hat band - Oasis & Cool Aqua.
 
Deer - Sandstone, Cinnamon, Cocoa & Umber.
Antlers - Henna & Walnut.
Chest - Satin & Sandstone
Holly wreath - Holly, Grass & Lush green with Ruby Berries.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -

Hope your all well underway with your Christmas preparations and feeling all festive,
