A Gift for my Great Niece for Christmas.......

Afternoon Everyone,
Here I am back again with my promised post it's scheduled as I don't know what I'll be doing,worrying myself silly about my Mum and fretting about my Dad as he's worrying about my Mum as well,or we might be at the hospital (see post below to find out what I'm worrying about)....I have made a little gift for my Great Niece for Christmas it can be used either on her bedroom door or as a coaster,it's also another first I've done a photo Tutorial let me know what you think......

What you need.......
A stamp
A Bisque tile brought from my local craft store The Craft Gallery Tel: 01865 391199
I've used Memento ink which worked really well and your choosen colours in promarkers....the colours I've used.....
Skin - Ivory,Pastel Pink,Dusky Pink
Hair - Pastel Yellow,Vanilla,Primrose
Dress - Pale Pink,Pink Carnation,Rose Pink
Grass - Pear Green,Moss,Marsh Green
Flower - Bluebell
Glamour Dust Glitter
 Drys clear glue


Stamp your image on the tile in your choosen position I've used a LOTV image,being careful not to move the stamp,leave to dry for a few minutes to be sure of no smudging

I started to colour her hair firsing,use nice light strokes,you colour the same as you would your card etc


Next I moved on to the skin


As you can see I have a scrap of card by the side of me when I'm colouring just to test colour combinations,
took three attempts toget the combination I liked for her dress,tights and shoes

I decided to have her standing on some grass and her flower is blue for a little contrast,as my Great Niece is a proper little girl who loves pink and glitter,I then just lightly edged her feather boa with pale pink then glittered it.....


And lastly I have used some gold peel off's to do her name..Then it could have a coat of clear varnish but that is a personal choice....Hope you like this...

 and I would like to enter it in the following challenges....
