Andrea Acorn

Monday, October 01, 2012

Hello Hello! Thank you all for Jon's birthday wishes...he did like his little girly box ;) hehehe! 

I have an exciting card to share today....I have been asked to guest design for Live and Love Crafts. Yippee! If you haven't checked out their store or challenge blog you truly must...they are fast becoming my favourite crafty store selling all kinds of beautiful vintages wares! *sigh* I am pretty sure I could spend my whole house deposit there ;)

The challenge this month is Halloween and/or Autumn. I have chosen to use Autumn Colours and have used one of my absolute favourite Kraftin Kimmies...Andrea Acorn.

The beautiful papers are Pion Design and yum yum yum look at that lace! I used copics to colour her up and here are the colours that I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R11
Hair: E11, E13, E15, E18
Cape: R22, R29, R46, R59
Dress: YR61, YR02, YR07, E15, E18

I really do hope you all get a chance to play along this month! Thanks so much for stopping by and thanks so much to Live and Love Crafts for asking me to be a guest! :D

Challenges that I am entering with this card:

Creative Stamp Friends - Autumn Colours
Kaboodle Doodles - Colours of Autumn

  49. I know what you mean, I've told sandy that I should just set up a standing order into her account, lol.
    Alyce, I've always loved your work. I've drooled at your blog since I just started making cards, your colouring is phenomenal, I just can't do that with copics, that why I use inks. I don't comment often (I know I should), but I don't have much time so I prefer to look at the pictures, and I do visit often.
    I'm glad you're enjoying being our GDT at LLC, we're glad you're here.
