So here are the colour inspiration graphic and sketch by Ruth:
What beautiful Spring Colours!
And here is my combination:
I've used a new stamp from Wild Rose Studio, called Mia from their new Cherry Cupcake range.
She has been coloured with Promarkers and layered onto a panel of Core'dinations which has been embossed with a damask folder from Crafts Too.
The papers are also from Wild Rose Studio, the green strip edged with a Martha Stewart punch.
The little tag is from Waltzingmouse Stamps Afternoon Tea, and the sentiment from Roses in Bloom, also by WMS.
I had originally coloured the flowers in yellow and orange, a bit like nasturtiums, but it clashed with the plum and the green, so I cut a couple of flowers from the same paper stack and layered them up, and it does look better. Topped the flower off with stickles.
I used some ribbon from stash, and tied 3 knots in as it looked a bit wishy washy when layered up on the strong coloured card, funny how tying a few knots made all the difference!
Added some green Kars dewdrops to the corners and cut a butterfly in a slightly paler green paper added some gems, and layered all together.
Inside I have stamped the greeting in Versamagic Purple Hydrangea.
I am really pleased with how this turned out, as it took me HOURS! I ended up using totally different papers than planned - I had cut loads of different label shapes for her to sit on, and none of them looked righ - then I saw the sketch by Ruth, and I started again! I still feel that i need more practice with colouring especially skin and hair, but I'm getting there!
Thanks for stopping by,
Pauline xx

I find colouring images takes me hours too, glad I'm not on my own!! Your card is lovely, and well worth all of your efforts!! Fabby job!
lovely sweet card, love the added ribbon detail, thanks for playing along with Craftycatz, x carol
I like your colouring... I think it looks great! I also really like the little detail of curling the corners of your card... just a little thing, but it looks awesome :) The knots are a perfect idea too - something interesting that isn't a bow! Awesome card!
Great papers and a fabulous layout. This is a lovely combination of challenges. I like the sweet image, so beautifully coloured. And I like the texture on the ribbon. Thanks for playing along with CR84FN this week!

This is such a pretty card, Pauline. Loved the colours right away. Then saw how beautifully you have coloured it, so delicately.
Thanks for your lovely comments, and it was good to know that you were okay. I too have been searching almost a week now for my Mojo. It arrived back yesterday, with some new stamps, LOL! So I will be having a play sometime this week. Take care! x
She's a cutie Pauline! I think many of us feel the same as you do when it comes to hair color and skin complexion, but again I think she's a cutie and you did a wonderful job at coloring her.

Beautiful card, I love the sweet little image! Thanks for taking part in the CYDA challenge xx
Hi Pauline . . . in answer to your question on my blog . . . The Creativity Magazine is produced by Do Crafts, so any Do Crafts stockist should have it. Try The Glitter Pot (www.theglitterpot.co.uk)for an online retailer if you have no local stockist. Also Do Crafts have a website www.docrafts.com, but I'm not sure if you can BUY the mag from the site. HTH.
Hugs, Sandra x
