She's Charming

Hello bloggers and fellow crafters

This weeks' challenge over at The Paper Shelter is 'Blooming'. The link for the challenge can be found here.

I made this card with the digi stamp called 'She's Charming" from The Paper Shelter and she can be found here.

I wanted to keep this card clean and simple so printed the image and coloured her in with my Copic and ProMarker pens.

I then added a simple sentiment from Craftwork Cards and added some flowers and adhesive pearls.

I love the blue of this young ladies dress but wanted to match it to the background paper (so bit of a fail there) but I am really pleased with how the card itself turned out.  Was exactly what I was aiming for with the 'clean and simple' approach.

I just love the cuteness of this stamp, the way she's powdering her face ready for her big date or even her prom.  Cuteness!!

Anyway, if you're also taking part in The Paper Shelter's challenge, good luck. It's lovely to see all the fabulous cards that other people make with the same images. Lots of inspiration and lots of great ideas.

Take care everyone and hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
Hugs xx

Si Belle

The Paper Shelter DT Call and GIRLY Challenge

Hi guys,
It took me ages and is only my second attempt but I managed to colour this entire card solely in black, grey and white. And yes, I deliberately added a sepia colour background so that you guys wouldn't think that I had just changed the colour of the photograph to black and white. So NO, I didn't cheat!!

I love this image and think it's quite a girlie image in itself. I kept the embellishments simple and although I was a little scared in colouring this image solely in monochrome, I was actually quite pleased with the finished result.

Just so that you can see how I coloured the image previously, I am adding a small picture of the same image but in bright colours.

Such a cute image and Si Belle can be found here at The Paper Shelter. Check out their other images while you're at it. They're so cute and there is something for everyone.

Hope you like the card and hope you'll come back and visit me again soon.

Have a great weekend Bloggers!
