A Birthday for you...

A birthday card for my box and for quite a few challenges. I actually coloured this image the other week, but put it to one side because I wasn't happy with the hair. I thought I'd got it way too dark, but having bought a white inkssentials pen this week I used it to add a couple of highlights. I'm much happier with the effect now.

Challenges:

Materials used:

  • Pollycraft stamp
  • Paper by DCWV
  • Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder
  • Cricut - flowers
  • Green card, buttons, gems and peel offs from stash

I wondered if it was safe to come here tonight. Last night's visit sent me off to Do Crafts for some plastic bashing as you know. Love your take on this sketch Ann. Your image is lovely and the hair looks just fine.
