A few Bows and a few Ribbons......



The Stamp-n-Doodle challenge has ended up quite girly for me this week, and I thoroughly enjoyed putting together all the colours, and is a bit of a departure from the more serene cards I have been making of late.

The image of the girl from Stamp-n-Doodle really depicts how I see a modest young girl/teenager, who has just gained that little bit of freedom to shop with her friends.
I really enjoyed colouring her, and I think I am finally gaining some confidence and dare I say it 'the knack' of promarkers. Though I have to say using the right paper helps enormously with the blending of the colours.
