Dream Valley Challenge 31 - For a Special Lady

Hiya!

It's time for a new challenge over at Dream Valley and didn't we have fun with this one!!!! We would like to see your creations For a Special Lady and as my Auntie Janet was celebrating a very special birthday a few days ago, I couldn't think of a better challenge! We are being sponsored by the fabulous Saturated Canary who are offering a $10 voucher to our lucky winner! With so many gorgeous images the DT were completely spoilt for choice.....

Now I personally find colouring hair one of my biggest challenges so I wanted to find an image with particularly gorgeous hair so I could practice, practice, practice! And practice I did..... I'm not sure quite how many times I coloured this image before I was finally happy with the results and I'm not quite sure why I went so completely purple about it, but I have to say I quite like it!


This gorgeous image is called Lolita.... Here's a close up.....


I used:
Promarkers
Sentiment - Sentiments 4 You
Papers - Henbury Lane, Papermania
Nesties
Butterfly punch
Brush marker for faux stitching
Pearls and lace from stash

I'll have a look for some challenges after I've put the littl'uns to bed! Here they are.....

Challenges:
Saturated Canary - Happy Birthday
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes

Now don't forget to pop over to Dream Valley to see the gorgeous creations made by the rest of the DT.

Love 'n' hugs,
