So here's the sketch we're working with...
Cute, isn't it? There is so much possibility to this sketch! Here's my take on it...
I used the Desiree sitter image - I think she is soooo cute! Do you happen to recognize the materials used? I used an old Simply Scrappin' kit and I mean old. This was Fresh Flowers and when SU! first introduced these kits, they were only available in 8 1/2 x 11. I've been cleaning out my craft room and I came across this kit. This kit contained card stock called Rose Romance which retired a long time ago, but it matched this other fabulous find I had in my stuff. See the twill tape? It's from Making Memories.
OK readers, I want your honest opinion, too. I am trying to learn how to color shiny hair. Does her hair look shiny or does it look like I made her into Bride of Frankenstein at age 4?
Supplies:
Card Stock: Neenah Classic Crest Solar White, Rose Romance, Lovely Lilac
Paper: Patterned card stock from Fresh Flowers Simply Scrappin kit
Copics: C8, C18, BV02, BV00, E00, E02, RV000, RV02, RV10
Tools: Nesties scallop, CM Circle cutters, Cuttlebug & CB Folder Swiss Dots
Embellishments: MM twill tape, Prima Flowers, Sugar-Coated brads by Doodlebug
