Passion for Markers - Feminine...

Good afternoon, crafty buddies! Another Tuesday rolls around, which means a brand new challenge starts today over at Passion for Markers...the lovely Lorraine is in the hostess chair and she's chosen a simple theme this week of 'Feminine', so we'd like to see all of those pretty, girly creations...

We're being sponsored by All Dressed Up who are offering one lucky winner the choice of 2 digital images from their online store...

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I went with the pretty Beret Girl...

I started my feminine creation by picking out some pretty papers from the Sweet Dreams and Vintage paper pads from Make & Create at The Works and then coloured my image to coordinate (this makes a change from my usual "colour an image only to find I don't have any papers to coordinate with it?!")

I coloured Beret Girl with my Pro/Flexmarkers, using one of my favourite pink colour combinations -

Skin - Blush, Dusky Pink, Sunkissed Pink

Hair - Cinnamon, Shale, Umber

Skirt - Cocktail Pink, Cerise, Shocking Pink, Vermillion

Top and Beret - Cool Grey 4, Cool Grey 5, Black, Pebble Blue, Blender

I gave her a yellow rose in her hair and then tied this in by adding the yellow stars. The sentiment was stamped using Waffle Flower Crafts Birthday sentiments and the word wishes is from the O Christmas Tree set that came with Simply Cards & Papercraft magazine. I finished with a die cut star from Memory Box Precious stars set and some glitter...

I love the way this card turned out - pretty and feminine without being too sickly pink (if that's possible?!) and hope that you can find the time to play along with our challenge this week! I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations and if Lorraine has a hard a job as I did trying to pick out a Top 5 last week, then I don't envy her!

Hugs,
