Enchanting Esmeralda

Hello!

It's another fun sponsored weekend over at the Passionate Paper Creations & Friends Facebook group! This week it's Make it Crafty!!

They're a fairly new to me company- but I love so many of their images! Since Halloween is just around the corner, I thought I'd use this spectacular witch, Esmeralda!



I had so much fun coloring her.. but I was so intimidated by those folds of her dress, but lucky for me (and you!) Zoe at Make it Crafty has a video tutorial showing how she colored Esmeralda!

I have added this image to a card yet- but I wanted to share it with you anyway, I'll edit this post to add it when I do ;)

Copics:
skin: E000, E00, E11, E21, R01
hair: V12, V15, V17, V09
dress: N3, N5, N7, N9, R14, R17, R29, E29
background YG0000, YG00, YG01, YG03, YG17, YG25, 0

Mermaid Wishes

Back again!

AND with some news to share! I was asked by (the fabulous) Rhea to join the Passionate Paper Creations & Friends Facebook group design team! It's such an awesome place for inspiration, finding crafty friends and sharing!

For my first DT card, we're having some fun with a Sponsored weekend with Make it Crafty images! (They're running a sale through the weekend too! Be sure to join Facebook group to see what it is... *wink wink*) I've admired these images for awhile and was excited to finally get my hands on my first, think this is the beginning of a lonngg obsession...

One of the special sales this weekend, Siren of Pearls, is available for $1! yes ONE DOLLAR!!! I had so much fun coloring her, and if you follow me on Instagram you could say I've been on a bit of a mermaid kick lately...



Isn't she just FABULOUS?! All that hair... and I think I finally have narrowed down a combination the tail that I like. (I'll include my combinations for those of you interested at the end of this post.) More doily love on this card as well as another Stitched Flag die from Creative Basics/LDRS!

I also covered the tail and some of the accents in sparkle with a Spectrum Noir sparkle pen, hard to tell in the photo above so here's another shot...



I hope to see some of you join the Passionate Paper Creations & Friends Facebook group if you're not there already!
