Got something out of my comfort zone today, its a bear, which you know I usually colour people and its also entirely in pencil! Finally got some Derwent Coloursoft pencils, felt like I'd got the holy grail lol!
Crafty Cardmakers is having a Hearts challenge this fortnight and we're sponsored by The Stampman who's offering a £10 prize for their shop!
Image is Coco and Big Heart by Digistamp Boutique which I won recently via the Allsorts Challenge who are also running a hearts challenge this week. I coloured with derwent coloursoft pencils and at first I didnt like it. The finished result is very different to promarkers but I had to get my head around the fact they're NOT promarkers therefore the results will be different! I came back to it with my 'its going to look like pencil' head on and quite liked it!
I wasn't too sure what direction I was going in with this one so had a mooch and found Cupcakes Inspirations and they have a wonderful chocolate cupcake so I headed with a red and brown theme with a dash of purply lilac and pink. Papers are the new Love Dreams by Bearly Mine here.
I've finished with some long neglected peel offs and red pearls. Also added a little charm that says LOVE which only took me a few seconds to find, surprising given Molly got hold of my box of charms and spread them all over the lounge so my once organised stash is in total dsarray!
