Always the Flower Girl

Wednesday, March 20, 2013

Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well today :) We have a fun new challenge over at Tiddlyinks this week and I know this is a hard one but definitely worth the effort...it is Anything But a Card! So I groaned too when I read that but I am always pleased with what I have made when I put in that little bit of effort to think of something different! So I hope you will play along :)

I have made a Perpetual Calendar (the tutorial that I followed can be found at The Flying Unicorn). The tiddlyinks image that I used is Always the Flower Girl...and I coloured her up like me so I could have this as my birthday present :) And coincidentally - the challenge is the date of my birthday too! :D

Lots of yummy goodies for Live and Love Crafts (that I naughtily opened before my birthday ;). The little frame I have had in my embellishments box forever and I have just taped the month behind it so I can change it each month. The little circle numbers I just printed out from Microsoft Word - font Circulate BRK. Here are the copic colours that I have used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R11
Dress: RV91, RV93, RV95, RV99

Hope you like her!! I will have a new video popping up probably tomorrow on colouring whites so stay tuned!! xx
