In the Pink at Fab and Funky

Thank you everyone for all your fabulous entries for our Once upon a time challenge last week if you pop over to the fab n funky challenge blog you can see if you are a winner.

This week it is all about Pink - you can use other colours for contrast but the predominant colour in the design needs to be pink.

We have a new sponsor this week to Artbymiran do check out the lovely stamps there.

I chose to work with Isabel's Flowers to produce this card

Now I freely admit that pink isn't my most favourite colour in the world, but teamed with black I think it is stunning so that's what I did,

I coloured Isabel using promarkers and spectrum noirs. .

Skin Ivory, blush, blossom and TN1

Hair - FS1, GB1, GB3, GB5, GB6

Clothes, Dusky Pink, Dusky Roze and Magenta ( I then added the spots using a Micron pen)

Shoes Cool Grey 1 and 3 

Leaves and Flowers Pear, Moss and Blossom and dusty pink.

The background is jillian embossed dots from Coredinations and I sanded the surface to reveal the paler core. This was layered onto black card stock and I stuck it to a 8x8 card blank. The patterned papers were freebies from a magazine and I layered these onto black as well to make them pop. Having die cut the image I layered this onto black and trimmed it by hand to leave a really narrow border. The flowers leaves and sentiments were cut with a selection of Tattered Lace dies and I layered up the flowers to give dimension adding pearl centres and then to finish off coated the sentiments in Anita's clear gloss varnish - it's like glossy accents but because it is slightly thicker it is easier to apply to small embellishments.
