Winter Blues - AFA DT Post
Sunday, February 26, 2012Hi everyone! It's Sunday and that means another challenge over at Anyone for Anya! This week we have Winter Blues: Add shades of blue to your card. It is Summer over here in Australia and very much a hot hot day, so I grabbed the cute Neva from CC Designs to get some inspiration!
I wanted a really nice vintage-look card with touches of bue, so I used some beautiful paper from Bo Bunny, and some Kraft card. I distressed the edges of the papers and used Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Vintage Photo to create an aged effect.
The blue border is from Core'dinations - I love these 6x6 paper pads! I have also used some twine, mesh lace which I picked up from the Brisbane Papercrafts Festival, and some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. I have also embellished Neva's outfit with Kaisercraft Pearls and Martha Stewart Sterling loose glitter powder.
Here are the Copic Marker colours I used to colour up Neva:
Skin: E50, E00, E53, E11
Hair: Y21, YR31, E50
Dress: B00, B12, BG05
Make sure you pop over to Anyone for Anya to play this week as we have some fantastic prizes up for grabs :D
