Jada


Well there's several firsts in this card for me.  I've tried a new technique with the flower frame, which I picked up from my crafting buddy Wendy (aka Papersniffer), colouring black hair and dark skin and it's my first card for the Gems of Inspiration blog too.


It's always good to try and work outside of your comfort zone because if you don't you'll never know if you're any good at it or not, so the Pink Gem design team are all contributing to an inspirational blog spotlighting the designs from Pink Gem Designs with some ideas to get you started.  Why not pop over and have a look and see what ideas you can pick up from my teamies.



 Material used:
Stamp - Jada
Coloured with promarkers

Skin: Cinnamon, Burnt Sienna & Umber
Cheeks & lips:  Coral
Hair:  Cool Grey 1 to 5
Curls:  Black fineliner 0.3
Top:  Buttercup, Yellow & Sunflower
Trousers:  Tea Green, Pastel Blue & Denim Blue
Logo:  Poppy

Accented with glossy accents

If you want to have a go at the flower frame please pop along to Wendy's blog where you will find her fab tutorial.  I'm sure she'd love to hear your feedback too!  It's easy to make and looks so effective doesn't it?  Thanks for the inspiration Wendy.
