Passion for Markers - Add a sentiment...

Good morning, dear Blogger buddies! It seems that the short spell of hot weather has been broken by rain here in North Wales, although I will be glad of a fresher feel as it's been terribly humid here for the last few days...

It's Tuesday, which means the start of a brand new challenge over at Passion for Markers. The lovely Marie who has chosen a super simple theme of 'Add a sentiment'...we don't mind what type of creation you make, just as long as you use your markers and follow the challenge theme...

We're being sponsored by Colour of Love who are offering one lucky winner 3 digital images from their online store...

I picked out an image that I have previously used from Colour of Love called Maiara Indian Maiden...


 I have to say that I really enjoyed colouring this pretty image up (although I notice that my colouring is not what it used to be with having to wear glasses now?!) and here's the colour list I used :

Skin - Tan, Cinnamon, Caramel
Hair - Walnut, Henna, Umber
Eyes - Pear Green, Moss
Feathers and shawl - Gold, Honeycomb, Spice
Cool Aqua, Duck Egg, Surf Blue
Soft Peach, Tea Rose, Rose Peach

 I fussy cut her out leaving a white border and mounted her with foam pads. I used a rectangle and cloud border stencil to create the background with Wild Honey and Broken China Distress Oxides, but inevitably, it went a little green around the edges?! Oh, well...

The clouds and stars were from my ever increasing bit box and the sentiment is a new one from Crafter's Companion - they were having a 10 for £10 sale, so who could resist?!

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

Crafty hugs,
