Better Late Than Not At All....

Hi there!! I think you are lucky enough to be witness to 2 coloured cards today!! I can't believe it!! Haha!! This will be the 1st of the 2 posts and the other is my Tiddly Inks challenge card as part of the DT.

I was away on scrap retreat over the weekend working on our PL album and have been colouring since I got home, around the kids and hubby and life of course ;)

The amazingly talented Krista from Saturated Canary is having a colouring contest that ends on 21st July (which is today here in Australia) using some of her absolutely gorgeous new "Decade Stamps". I love them but could not resist the 40's and 50's girls!! Head over here to pick them up for yourself and over here to see the rest of the range - swoon!!!

Anyways, here is my card, I just HAD to go for my most fave colour combo for myself at the moment which is pink and navy.

I had lots of fun colouring her up with the no lines technique using, of course, my copics. I have pulled papers, flowers, lace and a doily from my stash and love how this card turned out!! All the edges have been inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink and I just couldn't resist some frantage!! Flowers are from my stash and I think they came from D-lish Scraps and I know those swirly gold thingys (technical name!!) came from D-lish. Pearls are from Freckled Fawn that I got in one of their embellishment kits way back when I was getting them.

The copic combos I used are as follows

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 and R20

Hair: E43, E44, E47 and E49 Eyes: B000, B05, B09

Pink Outfit: R81, R83, R85, R87 (tip to tip blending with R85 and R89) and R89

Blue Outfit: B91, B93, B95 and B99

Grounding: W0, W1, W3 and W5

So, as I said, I had a heap of fun colouring her up, though at this size, she was definitely a challenge! But, so, so happy with how she turned out!!

Thanks for stopping by and keep your fingers crossed for me for one of those vouchers that are up for grabs!!

Happy scrapping!!
