Thursday, July 12, 2012Hello all! I am just a little late in posting but there is a new challenge this week over at Crafts and Me! It's a fun one...Stitching - Real or Faux! I love stitching on my cards but I have to admit it is a whole lot of effort to pull out the sewing machine and thread it just to do a quick stitch around my cards! But I do love the finished effect. I have used a new image from Crafts and Me this week called Melissa. I couldn't decide how to colour her until Jon suggested she was Red Riding Hood :) hehe
Please don't ask how I coloured the wolf because I have no idea LOL! I kinda just prayed it would turn out ok! I am happy with the result though...he looks cuddly to me :) Here are the colours that I used:
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R11
Hair: W0, W1, W3, W5, W7, BG13, BG49
Outfit: R32, R35, R37, R59, E15
Wolf: W0, W1, W3, W5
Hope to see you all playing along with this week's challenge! :D
