Good morning...
The Southern Girls are back with a great new challenge ....'a little of what you fancy.' .. basically you can do what you like best to your creation! Me, I love to colour, so I was delighted to choose this beautiful image from one of our lovely sponsors this week
Lemon Shortbread and colour her with my copics. I knew straight away that I wanted to make an 'art nouveau' style card as she has the look of one of Mucha's ladies! Once coloured, I masked the image to create the stamped background n the inner circle, then cut around the edge of her hair to let it spill over the double circle frame. I didn't have quite the right swirly die to fit the corners so compromised by using part of a larger die cut...not quite symmetrical, but never mind! The black background is embossed, but you can't see it! Wink of Stella added to her headband (you can't see that either! I added a few tiny gems, and some larger black ones to the frame, the sentiment is computer generated.
They say that great minds think alike...imagine my surprise when I saw that
Alethea and
Wendy had both chosen the same image as I did...we had the whole store to chose from!!!...not only that but we all gave her a blue dress! Their cards are stunning, just click on their names to take a look at what they did with this image!
We'd love to have you join us at

Chris, I just LOVE what you did with this gorgeous image. I did do a double take when I saw yours on the challenge blog, then I smiled, because how uncanny that we should both choose to use such similar colours for the flowers, eyes & dress, and then Alethea added hers and it was blue too! So funny. But I utterly love the way you did her hair, and the gorgeous art deco finish of your card. Sigh, so so lovely. Hugs, Wends x
WOW Chris this is stunning, wow, you have coloured that gorgeous image beautifully the card design and colours look amazing, brilliant creation
