Spoonful of sugar challenge - swirls

The challenge this week over at spoonful of sugar is to use swirls. I couldnt find the right shade of pink I wanted for the background so I made it by swiping a marvy matchables pad over some satin card, remember the satin card I struggled with last week on my colouring, well its fab for inky backgrounds!

I overstamped using a foam swirl stamp Ive had like forever and I used a sheet I'd coloured with yellow starburst stains and run it through the cuttlebug with the divine swirls embossing folder, you gotta love those cuttlebugs!

The image is a brand spanky new anime/manga stamp from sugar nellie which I was lucky enough to get before they sold out in a day (I was stalking their site all week ha!) Now onto the colouring, errrrm well I thought I'd experiment a little *cough* I used copics in pinks for the hair, clothes and boots and yellows for the ribbon, tights and shirt. Then I came to the outline, I'm nearly out of my grey you see so thought oh well lets try this lovely green I have....

I'm on the fence with this one, will tinker with it before it ever goes out the door lol! Oh and the leaf swirls are maya road naked chipboard coloured with versa magic, cant remember the exact shade except it was green!

Spoonful of Sugar meets The Pink Elephant!

This one is for The spoonful of sugar challenge 60 which is a sketch by Debbie and The pink elephant which is to use the colours red, light and dark blue. I'm loving red at the moment too :D
I shall try and crop it a bit closer when I get chance, photobucket is not playing tonight!

Image is a sugar nellie gorjuss girl, flower girl which is firmly my favourite! She's coloured with copics (Face = E00, E02, E21; Hair = E00, E21, E33 and dabbed a bit of E29 onto the lighter shade just to highlight slightly; Dress = B21, B93, R29, R59; Tights = B21, B93)

The background red is starburst stains in poinsettia red gold swiped with brilliance red to make it redder. Dark blue paper is from DCWV rockstar stack and the light blue is starburst stains that has been mixed with alcohol blending solution onto glossy card (Yes you can do this!) and then cuttlebug embossed. The flowers are some I got from QVC a while back and save for best lol!
