Basic Grey Challenges & PDD


Basic Grey Challenges is back!! This is my entry for the first challenge of the new blog - which is a sketch by Tara G.



I coloured my Manga Girl image with Distress inks and higlighted with Inkssentials Opaque white pen. I put a tiny amount of glossy accents on the buttons of her dress, then I distressed the background paper with Tattered Rose. I used Tattered Rose crackle paint the TH grungeboard swirl. I added some flowers, using a little bit of Frosted Lace stickles to give a bit of shimmer. Then I added some white pearls around the card and in the centre of the flowers. I finished the card off with a WOJ sentiment also distressed with Tattered Rose.

Ingredients: (All linked items are available at a great price over @ Pez-A-Doodle Designs)
Papers: BG Two Scoops

Image: Sugar Nellie Manga Girl

Ribbon: American Crafts

Swirl:
TH Grungeboard Elements Plain
Crackle paint, stickles, distress inks, glossy accents, inkssentials opaque white pen.

Hi Sandie hunny - this is gorgeous. Love your take on Tara's sketch with those fabulous Two Scoops papers and that little Mamga girl is adorable - love your colouring.
Thanks for all you lovely comments whilst I've been 'Missing in Action'. I'm catching up slowly (very slowly!!) and thanks for playing along with us at BG on our re-launch challenge.
