Bashful Belinda

Hiya lovely peeps! Hope you're all happy and well :) I'm so excited to share my post with you all today!

I am an extremely lucky girl as I was chosen to become a DT member on the Challenge Team for the wonderfully talented Mi Ran of Art by Mi Ran and still have to pinch myself to believe it!  Both Mi Ran and the DT girls are amazing and I feel very honoured to be working with them all.

The Showcase Team have been sharing their gorgeous creations this month using a GREEN theme.

 I'm super excited to be hosting the Showcase Blog today and, taking centre stage on my card is the adorably sweet, Bashful Belinda.

Isn't she the cutest little doll?  I adore her and jumped at the chance of colouring her up :)

You can find this little beauty, alongside an array of beauties in Mi Ran's SHOP.

Copics used as follows:

Skin:  E000, E00, E11, R20

Hair/Shoes:  E29, E31, E33, E50, E51

Dress:  YG03, YG06, YG23, YG63, YG67

My embellishments of roses, pearls, lace and cameo are all from the Hobby House and the DP's are Rose's Dream and Mini Dots from Bearly Mine Designs.

If you're not already, we'd love for you to become a follower of both the Showcase Blog and Challenge Blog.  We would also love you to join in on our Facebook page where you can share your creations with us all and join in the challenge over there, which is going on right this minute, as we speak! :)

CMC - Guest Designer

Good Morning Everyone!  Hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day and was able to share it with your loved ones.  I got to share mine with a special someone whom I love with all my heart, will always look up to and treasure every moment with ........ my fabulous Mum! :)

I'm so excited about my card today!  I was asked to do a Guest Design spot for CMC Challenge and, of course, I jumped at the chance!  For this next fortnight their theme is ANYTHING GOES!!

CMC are sponsored by Marker Pop this time so I chose to colour up the very beautiful Nevaeh by Saturated Canary, which I have as a digi image but which can also be bought in rubber from Marker Pop HERE.

She was an absolute joy to colour up and, although I stayed within my comfort zone as far as her hair colour (I love doing coloured hair lol), I challenged myself to try a new colour for me ..... YELLOW!! Eek!  I do love the freshness of these colours together, alongside the beautiful aqua.  My papers are digital downloads from Bearly Mine Designs and I used Summer's Roses and Plain & Simple.  I've only just recently been introduced to these gorgeous papers by a lovely lady on their DT.  Thank you Jackie! These are truly stunning designs and I want ALL of them lol.

I coloured this little pretty up with Copics in the following:
Skin:  E000, E00, E11, R20    Hair/Shoes:  V09, V12, V15, V17, V91
Greens:  G21, G94, YG63     Yellow:  Y00, Y08, Y15
Butterflies:  BG000, BG01, BG05

My floral display is a combination of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, the Hobby House and Live & Love Crafts.  Purple ribbon & pearl string from HH, Lace from WOC.  The large die-cut butterfly is a Marianne Design and the two smaller ones are from Joanna Sheen.  I cut out on pearl cardstock and coloured with copics.
