Melissa

 I have a really poorly hand at the moment, so crafting is slow and rather painful.  I coloured this gorgeous Sugar Nellie digi, Melissa, last night, and put the elements together this morning.

 She is coloured in using my promarkers, and I decided to keep it neutral and vintage, so just used cool and warm greys, caramel, tan and apricot ... oh and cocktail pink for the flower.  I distressed all edges and inked them using vintage photo.  I used kraft papers, and embossed some using my D'vine swirls folder, and matted it onto pink cardstock.  I used my Stempleglede Grunge set to stamp the detail round the edge of the kraft paper, and to make the flowers, which I stamped, cut out and scrunched within an inch of their lives!!  I added some gingham ribbon, flat backed pearsl and a Tim Holtz ticket.

Challenges:
passion for Promarkers - make your own embellishments - flowers
