HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO IN THE PINK!



Hi Peeps..

I can't believe how fast time flies.... and here we are at In The Pink time again - and wowwww it's our SECOND birthday!!  Now....  I know I did a nice pale pink card just recently, soooooo I thought I'd go to the opposite extreme this time..  and as we've got an ANYTHING GOES theme to celebrate our birthday... I went all out!

I chose to use a Bestie for my card - meet Sophia Rose from Sherri Baldy Besties  She was a joy to colour...  but, I have to admit, I didn't enjoy colouring her hair so much!! Sooo many curls - and as I'm just starting doing the hair colouring classes with Alyce at Kit and Clowder - and haven't got to the curly hair lesson yet, I feel I may have gone a tad astray with my highlight/shadow bits!  Ah well.... don't look too closely (and shhhhh don't tell Alyce!!)  I think I've conquered straight hair texture.... but curls are yet to come!
Here's what I used:
Paper: Fancy Pants Key Lime Pie Papers - Heavenly
Dies: Nellies Multiframes Rectangle 3 (includes the scallops), Lawn Fawn Stitched Scallop Border
Ribbon, Glitter and Gems from Stash
Sentiment done on PC
Colouring: Copics...
Hair: E21, E25, E29
Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04, R20
Clothes: RV00, RV52, RV55, RV09, G20, G21, G82
Eyes: B93
Shoes E33, E35, E57
(if I put my colours here I remember for next time! LOL)

  3. I LOVE this hot pink and the fancy fold design is brilliant :-)
    Your hair colouring still looks pretty good, and at least when you have done the curly hair class, you can colour her up again and see the improvement ;-)
    The shading all around her is great - really makes her look more, um, 3D!

    Big hugs, Kat xx
