Wee Stamps Hopeful...

Good evening, my lovelies and I hope you are all well and ready for the weekend?!  I was going to post this little creation this morning, but don't really know what happened, the day just seemed to run away with me...I wouldn't mind if I had something to show for it, but apart from a pile of ironing and a slightly tidier craft table, it looks like I haven't achieved much else, but I've been busy all day!?!  Anyway...
...whilst browsing in the Wee Stamps shop over the festive period, I came across this little darling and just had to have her, if only for her hair!...

...This is Hopeful - isn't she the sweetest?!  I adore her hair and though it took quite a while to colour, I thoroughly enjoyed doing it!  The papers I used are from First Edition Isabelle and Dreamcatcher pads and I also used SB Labels Three, Marianne flourish and Cheery Lyn's Exotic Butterflies...

...I coloured Hopeful with my Pro/Flexmarkers and was quite pleased with the results...even if I do say so myself!  If you're a Letrasetter, like me, here's the list of colours I used :

Hair - Sandstone, Caramel, Cocoa, Umber (one of my fave combos)

Skin - Blush, Dusky Pink, Sunkissed Pink, Coral

Top - Soft Mauve, Lavender, Orchid, Wild Orchid, Champagne, Sandstone, Caramel

Trousers - Soft Aqua, Aquamarine, Duck Egg, Surf Blue, Tea Rose, Watermelon, Antique Pink

Lantern - Buttercup, Mustard, Gold, Ivory, Honeycomb, Pumpkin, Mandarin

...I fussy cut Hopeful, leaving a white border and added her with foam pads, finishing with a touch of glitter (though it doesn't show in the pics) and some small pearls.

I've been watching a few Promarker YouTube videos and think I may need some fine nibs for adding extra detail and shading...that's something else to add to my ever expanding list!  However...I have been a very lucky girl so far this year and have won a £10 voucher for Classy Crafts with Creative Inspirations Challenge, which has invested in a lovely Marianne button flower and white embossing powder, I won a fab bunch of charms over at The Ribbon Girl blog and then got Top 3 at MilkCoffee which meant I could choose a free digi!  How awesome is that?!  I just hope my streak of luck continues!

Well, that's it from me for tonight, I hope you've enjoyed seeing my new crafty creation and don't forget there's still time to join in with our 'Just a Fairytale' challenge over at the Passion for Promarkers Challenge blog!  See you soon!

Hugs,
