Polka Doodles Challenge - Week 34

Another blog entry today, this time for the Polka Doodle Challenge - Week 34 Stitching real or faux. I use faux stitching quite alot on cards, it just seems to frame your image.

I decided to go for something bright to cheer up the dull bank holiday weather we've had, so you may to shield your eyes when viewing!

I used a Cuddly Buddly Digi Image, which I've had a while. The papers are all from unknown sources sorry, but they've been lurking in my stash too. The swirls were cut on the cuttlebug, using a marianne die, it's a very versatile swirl, I find myself cutting it up to make it fit just where I want that something extra. I made the ribbon flowers and used the remainder of the ribbon to add the ruche at the bottom of the card.

I coloured the image with promarkers
Skin - Tan, Cinnamon, Chestnut
Hair - Cool Grey 1, 3, 5 and black
Dress -  Buttercup, Tulip Yellow, Gold
Cat - Ginger, Burnt Orange
Toadstool - Poppy, Cardinal Red, Burgundy
Toadstool Frills - Warm Grey 1 and 3
Wings -  Pale Blue
Stitching - Burnt Orange

Wings, flowers, and fairy sparkle all have shimmer added using a Sakura shimmer pen.

Thanks for visiting today
