Passion for Promarkers - Make it Feminine...

Good morning, crafty friends and a Happy Tuesday to you all! We have a brand new challenge starting today over at Passion for Promarkers with the lovely Nic (aka Coops) giving us a super easy theme of 'Make it Feminine'...
We are being sponsored by JMC Designs who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 1 digital collection from their online store...

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out the slightly quirky, Edna...


Colour List -
Head -Ivory, Champagne, Tan 
Neck, eyelids and legs - Blush, Sunkissed Pink and Spice
Beak - Pastel Yellow, Mustard and Gold
Body - Cool Grey 2, 4, 5 and Black (I've lost my Cool Grey 3, so that's why I didn't us it?!)
Wings and neck fluff - Tea Green and Watermelon

I coloured Edna up with my Pro/Flexmarkers and teamed her with some papers from Unique Stories paper pad from The Works. I knew straight away that I wanted to add some feathers and am thinking of adding the sentiment, 'Shake your tail feathers!', but I'll let you into a little secret...I printed the sentiment on my Brother labeling machine and then used my heat gun to dry the Glossy Accents on her eyes a little quicker...guess what?!...label paper is heat reactive, so I ended up with a black mess, so I left her without!! I'll probably just put it on the insert inside when it comes to sending her out...

I pulled inspiration for this layout from one I did a while back (November 2017) but tweaked it about a bit...

I have to say that I rather like the way this card turned out - it's very 'me'...I love the black, pink and cream colour combination and I think it turned out very feminine without being too girly... if that makes any sense?!

Right, off to do something...not quite sure what yet...but I hope you can find the time to play along with our fun challenge this week and look forward to seeing what you all create!

Hugs,
I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges :
Anything Goes until 19th
For Girls Only until 14th
Female closes tomorrow
(as I say in my post, I think my card turned out very feminine without being overly girly)
