Passion for Markers - Food and/or Drink...

 Good morning, Blogger buddies! It's Tuesday (again!) which means it's time for a fun new challenge over at Passion for Markers!...

 I'm playing hostess this week and was inspired by all the Food festivals and markets that seem to be happening at this time of year...so I went with a theme of 'Food and/or Drink'. We're being sponsored by the wonderful Polkadoodles who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 3 digital images from their online store...

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out the pretty 'Ruby Birthday Cake'...

I coloured Ruby with my Pro/Flexmarkers -

Skin - Putty, Tan, Cinnamon

Hair - Cappuccino, Umber, Coffee Bean (SN), Pencils

Dress - Yellow, Mustard, Gold, Cocktail Pink, Watermelon, Antique Pink

Shadows - Pebble Blue

I used an old layout from 5 years ago (where does the time go?!) and wanted to incorporate yellow into my make as I see so many lovely creations using yellow, but never seem to make anything myself! I did have to pair it with a touch of pink, of course...just because I find it such an easy colour to work with. I resisted the temptation to add a couple of clouds, like in my original creation...but only just?! Ha, ha!

The sentiment was part of a stamp set that came free with SC&P and I used the Happy from my WoW! stamp set, fussy cut with a white border.

I hope you can find the time to play along with my fun challenge this week and look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations!
