The option, if you choose to follow it, is a colour combo of purple and green. Now I'd better warn you that I may have a few surprises up my sleeve with this one, so don't all be too shocked!
I guess the most obvious surprise is the total lack of purple - or green. But in my defense I couldn't find any papers in those colours. I did have some Bo Bunny ones but I loved them so much that I used them all up!
The next surprise is that for this card I decided to dress it down....now that's a real shocker huh? And lastly, I reverted back to my true Frankenstinian self and hacked her legs off :-)
I know, I know...I'm just a rebel really, but I so wanted to ink up this little beauty and she wouldn't have fitted the sketch without a little of my 'cosmetic surgery'.
This image is very aptly named Fabulous Darling and available to buy HERE, she's been coloured with the usual DI's and Nick Bantock inks. The DP is Tilda Frosted Bluegreen, another of my favourites which I really should use instead of hoarding. A bit of glamour dust on her bow and pull-ups - but you'll have to enlarge the photo to see it..or not? You know when you just know you have something but can't think who made it or where it is? That was me and that sentiment, I knew I had something with the word 'Fabulous' on it but it took me the best part of an hour to locate it, and it's from a Stempelglede set.
So.....you all want to know what the prize is? It's amazing! A full set of the soon-to-be-released Sassy set 6 stamps (oh my...I have seen these images and they are gorgeous) AND a set of the new nestabilities.
There's no other challenge blog that offers prizes like these!
Pop on over to the Sugar Bowl for all the details and lots of inspiration from the other sweeties.
Thanks for looking and for any comments you may leave.
Love Elaine xxx

ReplyDeleteAnd thank you mwah x
Hi Elaine,
ReplyDeleteFirstly, can I just say thank you for always dropping by my blog and leaving lovely comments. They make my day! I haven't commented as much as I would like because things are just so hectic with work/home!
Anyway, your card is just gorgeous and the "Fabulous" was well worth searching for, it finishes the card nicely. The image as always is coloured beautiful.
Love Kerry xxx
Wow, Elaine love your card!!! It's so beautiful.
ReplyDeletehugs Yvonne
Love your detial here - that rouge in her compact & yes I can see the glamour dust. The doily (die??) is gorgeous & I love the way you've used different sizes of pearls. The way that frill of her blouse picks seems to be picked out by the patterned paper (or t'other way about) is effective too. Hopefully our phone wires are now fixed so I'll be back to my normal routines of commenting.........
