My First.....

.....Sketch Saturday Challenge Combined with My First Colour Create Challenge!



I'm so getting into these challenges!!! On the look out for any other good ones - so if you know of one that I've not got on my side bar let me know :)

Sketch Saturday seems to be a very popular one with everyone, so thought I'd have a go too!

The sketch was fab - and I even managed to turn the sketch on 90' to work better with the shape of my image! I'm impressing myself now! lol!



I have also been pointed in the direction of the Colour Create Challenge too - which this also fits :) Another great challenge site that I will be frequenting regularly now! The colours this week are Chocolate, Coffee and Cream.

I used a Tilda image that was sent as a RAK by a friend, I coloured her with my Watercolour pencils (again!).
The ribbons and lace were all out of my stash - probably bought from a local market stall where I get most bits like that.
The backing paper is from the BG Sugared collection.

  2. Hi Carol she is adorable. I have never done one of these challenges, mind you i'd never done a Tilda since Kym (it's Karma) sent me some. I tried using my watercolour pencils (faber) so they not cheap but I couldn't get it right, so I had to go over with my whisper pens.
    Can I ask what pencils you use please?

    Keep up the good work.

  4. Hi Carol, yes Thnk you sentiment is a PB stamp. I stamped it onto pearlescent (not that you can see in picture) wasn't sure it would be ok although I use Stazon... i have stamped before and found it slides. So this was a bonus lol
    Thanks for your comment.
    I love your cards
