She was printed out quite big - 17x12cm. Sooo much fun to colour :) The frame is an altered frame from Ikea. I first painted it in Tim Holtz crackle paint tea dye, and then roughly painted it in Gesso and sanded is back. I then embellished with some yummy flowers from the lovely Bella Paperie shop in Brisbane and a few bits and pieces. This is what the frame started out like:
And here;s some more pics of how it ended up:
Here are the copic colours that I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R11
Hair: E11, E13, E15, E18
Dress: BV000, BV00, BV02, RV11, BV18, BV08 (I added int he RV11 to make her dress have a pinkish glow from the light. You can't see it once it is blended out but it just picks up subtle reflections of the pink)
Background: YR000, R000, R00, B60, Y21, Y000, YR61
Hope you enjoy her and can't wait to see you playing along in the challenge! :) xx

Wow, what a fabulous picture, gorgeous colouring.
This is beyond stunning, Alyce! Your coloring is amazing!
Wow!! This is just stunning, Alyce!! Amazing job as always! :-)
This is gorgeous. I only watched your speed colouring video last night and wow. I also bought Wryn this week and saw that you had a video colouring her. I followed your technique and am very impressed - though I have a long way to go to be nearly as talented as yourself. I will be posting the card on Monday.
Your finished card is stunning.
