A little bit of inspiration!

Today I bring you one of Conie Fong Art & Design new images Braids in My Hair.  I was blown away when I saw this image, I love colouring hair and jumped straight onto it.  I've printed her off several times so that I can have a play with different colours.  Make sure you come back to see what I get done.

 

Not only is this image a great one for practising your techniques, it is also at a discount price.  So don't hang about, get her in your basket straight away.

 

You can get Braids in My Hair here

For my first attempt I wanted to try my 'go to colours' which is pink with brown tones for her hair.  I always map my hair with the lighter tones and for the first time ever, stopped myself from picking up the darker browns, I was so pleased with the results. My first ever blonde lady.

 

I love the way Conie draws her images, she helps the challenged crafters like myself, I never know where to put shadows, Conie always gives you hints!

 

I glittered her bow to add sparkle, next time I might decoupage it for more depth.

Copics used are:

Hair: E21, E35

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20

Dress: R59, RV34, R81, RV10, RV000

Petal Lu Challenge #28

It's challenge time at Petal Lu, last one before the New Year!

I can't believe its Christmas already, just a few more days left, still lots of presents to wrap, not to mention cards to write and deliver and those last minute makes that the Children have insisted they now want for their teachers!!!  A lot of sleepless nights ahead of me.

So, lets swiftly move onto the latest Challenge at Petal Lu and my Design Team inspiration card.

I made this last Friday, very last minute, since I had completely forgotten to make it and my friend was coming to collect later that evening! whoops!

She loved it by the way!

Backing papers are from my Christmas Paper stock stash, sentiment is from Lily Of the Valley and wooden embellishments are from The Works (Aladin's gave).  Flowers of course are from Petal Lu.  These ones are the Blood Red, Wild Wasabi and Pear Pizzaz colours. 

With the addition of string bead and coloured berries, bells and stamen, it all becomes very festive.

I also added some white glitter glue for more sparkle.

 

I hope you like what I have made, remember you can get all the blooms from Petal Lu.

 

Challenges, I am entering this into are

 

Christmas at Sweet Stampin - Anything Goes

Creative Moments - Anything Goes

 

 

Petal Lu ~26

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a wonderful day.  I've been busy decorating for Christmas, and realised I was late posting my blog. Hope nobody notices!!!

It's Challenge time again at Petal Lu, as usual you could win the fantastic 30% discount from the Petal Lu Store.

 

Today I have used an image from Conie Fong Art & Design.  This beautiful image can come as a set of 3, with little differences in each.
She is called Molly Fairy

Dress: R59, RV34, R81, RV10, RV000

  

I do love the easel cards! I've added a few snowflake die cuts and glittered them, not sure how they will withstand the post since they are so delicate, but so very lovely all the same.
