Angelica and WOYWW

  This is well out of my comfort zone to be honest - purple, I love, but orange!!!  I had these papers that I was bought but have not used due to the orange in them ... and I have been told I should really use up my paper stash before I buy more :(!!  Before stamping Angelica up, I masked the bunny off, and then coloured using my pens, before being glamour dusted and stickled.  I stitched the dp  and simple added a die cut flower and some sparkly gems.


Supplies:
Image: Sugar Nellie Angelica(digi)
Sentiment: Craftwork cards
Colouring medium: promarkers
Skin: sunkissed pink, blush, ivory, pastel pink 
Hair: raw sienna, gold, mustard, pastel yellow, primrose

 Embellishments:diecut flower, card candi, adhesive gems and swirl, glamour dust, stickles
Tools: Dienamics Mini Hybrid Heirloom rose die

Challenges:
Cupcake Craft - with bells on
Oldie but a Goodie - glitter and glam
Tuesday Throwdown - bling it on
Papertake Weekly - pick a sketch (68)

Love to create - anything goes with a sentiment

And as it Wednesday it is time to share our desks, led by the talented Julia ... here was my desk yesterday ...

Sorry for the poor quality - I took it with my phone - not sure how to get it crisp!!  Anyway - image coloured, papers out, another image ready to turn into a card, an image ready to colour - busy for a change :)

I like your desk. I like to keep a journal with me, too. In case I have some earth shattering idea that I must write down before I forget it. Do you do that? April #101
