Blowing in the wind


This gorgeous image was one of those I received in my blog candy and i thought she was perfect for the Whiff of Joy Challenge of brown and pink. Cocoa and rose pink are also the promarkers I had to use for the challenge at Passion for Promarkers. I found it quite hard to only use those 2 colours plus skin and hair but managed it by using one coat of Rose Pink on the dress and 3 coats on the pinafore. The flowers are highlighted with glitter pens. The papers are Papermania Simply Elegant and the pink striped paper is Craftwork Cards. The lovely sketch is from Papertake. The corners are a Sizzix die cut for Secret Crafter. The punched flowers bring the whole thing together for Allsorts In a English Country Garden. I really love the way this card turned out so I will save it for a friend's birthday next month who loves pink, no not you Lynsey, can't post your card on here, lol!
