Isn't this little girl just so cute ?
She is from the Sheena Douglas A little Bit Sketchy stamp set and I think this one is called Busy Doing Nothing. I picked her Just for You and of course for my DT card at My Time to Craft Challenge this week which has the theme of Infants. The theme is very broad and we would love to see your creations that include children or something for children.Come and join us as it would be wonderful to see your crafty makes.
My effort is another easel card but I based the design on the sketch at Phindy's Challenge Blog. As the image is quite large and my card is based on a 6"x6" card. I went with the easel design in order to allow more space for the sentiment. It also gave me the chance to use more of the pretty Pink Petticoat papers called Vintage Rose.
I have mentioned before that I struggle with colouring in images. I've tried Promarkers,Copics,Watercolour Pencils and a mixture of all three. This time I used watercolour paper and watercolour paints and I think I found it a little easier but it's early days and I will see how this works out. (Yesterday I posted a card that I also coloured with watercolour paints but this little cutie was my first attempt ).
I would love to enter this card into the following Challenges :
1.Phindy's Challenge 43- A Sketch
2.DYSU Challenge 8 -Anything Goes
3.Incy Wincy 83 - Spring is in the air
4.One Stop Challenge 120 - Spring Flowers

Hi Patrizia, we all struggle with colouring, I find the choice of colours the biggest problem for me, they dont grade as well I want. Anyway I think your card is stunning, shes such a sweet gentle image and looks so like my granddaughter picking flowers she shouldnt. With hugs Shirleyxx

This is lovely, You've coloured it well. I remember when I first started colouring and all I can say is mine was not very good. Thanks for joining Sir Stampalot’s challenge with this great entry, good luck.
