For My Niece

Good morning everyone!

  

I wanted to pop in today and share a birthday card that I made for one of my nieces!  

I absolutely love this image from Hannah Lynn Art! The long hair and the super long eyelashes... it reminds me of my niece, except for the teal colored hair of course! LOL :) 

I colored this gorgeous image with Copics & Prisma pencils, the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps. I cut the Squiggly border with a MFT die and the papers are from The Studio g. I roughed up all the edges with the Tim Holtz Paper Distresser tool... added the hand dyed seam binding, button and pearls and it's done!

  Well, that's it for today, short and sweet... thanks so much for stopping by!

Good morning everyone!

It's time for a new challenge at Crafty Calendar and this month we have a fabulous color combo for you to work with... 

Our wonderful sponsor is Hannah Lynn Art who provide the images for us to work with! This is Alice, isn't she beautiful?!!

Now, I have to admit this image was a little intimidating to color... look at all of that gorgeous hair! But I did it and and I'm very happy with the way it turned out! :) 
She's colored with Copics and I added a bit of shading with Prisma pencils.  The circle sentiment from Jaded Blossom and the polka dot paper is from the Paper Studio.  The leaves were cut with a Sizzix die, I used a MS punch for the butterflies and a EK punch for the corner.  Vintage Photo distress ink & Broken China distress ink were used for the distressing and to finish it up I added a few pearls that I had in my stash. 
Now head on over to the challenge blog and check out the wonderful creations by the other team members!
  
Thanks so much for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend!
