Hello lovely people of blogland. Thank you for coming to see me today.
I can't lie, I am super excited to have been invited to be Guest Designer at Top Tip Tuesday so a HUGE thank you to Samantha for asking me!! A new challenge is starting today and
It's all about the hair colour.
Those of you who have been visiting for a while will know that I don't "do" hair very often or should I say hair that needs definition. Anyway not one to buckle under the stress I chose the beautiful, yet challenging, Aurora Floral Kiss and this is the result.
Using Promarkers I coloured her and the seam binding to match the paper .
I used Diamond stickles and my Stardust Gelly roll pen to add a little bling to her pretty floral headdress
Part of my duties are to include a tip and here is one that I use every time I colour.
Whenever I buy a new paper pad/digi collection I get out my Promarkers and
make a swatch and write the names of the colours that are the best match and
stick it to the cover. In the case of a digi collection I write it in a little note book that I have for the purpose. I then prepare a couple of card layouts so that when the
time comes all I have to do is colour up the chosen stamped image using my colour
guide. It means that there is no hunting around for suitable papers or colour
matches after colouring your image and you will always have a perfect match.
