**And just in case I haven't badgered you enough...A HUGE thank you to all of you that have supported me over at the Fashionista Blog :D Only a few more days to go but boy is it a close one! I would love it if you could pop over and take a closer look :D **
Howdy all! Today it is inspiration day over at Little Miss Muffet and I wanted to show one of the adorable hatters with you. Please meet Elisabeth Louise - so elegant and stylish! I have teamed her up with some new digi papers from Jessica Sprague. These are great - the whole sets just go together so nicely. The thing I love most about digi papers as they basically come already picked for you....saves me sooo much time! ;)
I am quite happy with how she turned out...I like all of the different elements on this card. I have added a heap of embellies; a cheery lynn doily die cut, pearls, cheesecloth, corrugated cardboard, ribbon, and some wild orchid flowers. That gorgeous big fluffy aqua flower is from Prima - you can't see it but is is all sparkly :) I am really enjoying playing around with corrugated cardboard...it just adds a really lovely texture :) I also added some machine stitching around the edges of all of the DPs, and even paper pieced her little flower so the top petals sat up to give some dimension.
I coloured Elisabeth using copic markers. Here are the colours that I used:
Skin: E50, E53, E00, R11
Hair: E21, E25, E29
Hat: E31, E35, E39
Dress: BG01, BG05, BG09
