************************
I really enjoyed this one - fabulous colours, although I did boob - I was under the impression is sould be pink, cream and brown not pink yellow and brown - oops!!
My excuse is cream is a very pale yellow - that should do it!!!
The Double Dutch challenge is Pink, brown and Cream so I'm covered for that.
(I'm now in Germany Erica so please don't shout at me so loud - I'll hear you!!)
The Magnolia monthly challenge is based on the amazing 3D tutorial that the uber talented Debby Yates of A Scrap Journey did. I used Alva with flower, coloured her with Copics and gave her four hats, three faces, two dresses, three frills on her dress, to sets of boot, three arma and four flowers. Writing that down made me realize why it took me so long (lol). When I use this technique I use a ball point tool on the reverse of the element to give it more shape and form, consequently this makes it difficult to photgraph as the sides of each element are glued to the side of the one underneath leaving the middle part 3D'd. I think you can just aout see this is the lousy photograph in the middle.
(NB to self - for heaven's sake get yourself a new camera)
