Anyway, I've been doing a bit of colouring this morning, and created a card for my Mother-in-Law for Mother's Day.
I treated myself to some fabulous images by Rick St Dennis yesterday, and this lovely lady was the first on my wish list! Oh she is gorgeous! She reminds me of Lady Mae in Mr. Selfridge (it's on tonight yippee!) and I couldn't wait to colour her in. She's called 1906 Hat, and you can find her HERE
I'm having a bit of a purple phase right now, so she had to have a purple hat, and the jewel in her brooch has to be a big amethyst, one of my favourite stones.
I coloured her with Promarkers, and added some glamour dust to her hat trimmings and around the jewel. I used some lovely papers from Trimcraft called New Bloom.
I bordered her with some die cut flourishes from Tattered Lace called Ornamental Rose, cut twice in cream card and twice in purple, then layered together. I then added some butterflies cut using Memory Box dies.
Inside the card I have used a sentiment from Waltzingmouse Stamps, and two little floral butterflies from Stampin' Up!.
Finally I added a little circular sentiment from Love Circles set on the front using a Wild Rose Studios sentiment, and some Prima gems to her hat pin and the butterflies.
I love this card, and my daughter loves it too, it will be hard to part with but I know it will be going to a good home!
For anyone who is interested, here's the list of Promarkers I used for the image:
Hat: Sorbet, Amethyst, Red Violet, Lilac, Winterberry, Umber.
Bird Wings: Warm Grey1, 5, Grey Squirrel.
Hair: Burnt Orange, Spice, Terracotta, Henna, Cocoa, Black.
Skin: Satin, Pastel Pink, Oatmeal. Lips - Dusky rose, Antique Pink, Rose Peach.
Eyes: Apple, Forest Green, Sea Green.
