So what did I do then?
Well I did ....
... this :)
The image I used is called Annabel Texting - I wonder what she's saying (ooh I am sooo nosy)!!
I gave her the Copics treatment, like you do, and ....
... these are the colours I used -
Skin - E000, E00, E11, E13, R00, R02
Hair - E30, E31, E33, E35, E39, E50
The rest - B45, B93, B95, B97, C9, YG0000, YG00, YG03, YG59
Hair - E30, E31, E33, E35, E39, E50
The rest - B45, B93, B95, B97, C9, YG0000, YG00, YG03, YG59
The papers are from a Shabby Shack 8x8 paper pad - they're so clean and fresh and perfect for this time of the year
Oops, I should have brushed the glitter out of her hair before taking her pic - what a dozy beggar!!!
A little arrangement featuring a button, some twine, lotsa leaves
and a sentiment from SET 18 - Greetings Postmarks
