Make it colourful

Morning guys,
I logged onto facebook the other morning and seen the
Make It Colourful challenge for this week was
Light coming from a candle/lantern

I was looking at the dt examples and Vicky had put a coloured image on
and I used that for inspiration,(go take a look, her blog will blow you away).



Here's my attempt at the challenge...
I have merged Tilda with a few elements for Make it crafty,
The images were coloured with copics, the sky was done with distress inks, the light from the
lantern is also a distress ink...
the image is quite big so I had to use a larger card..
I'd like to enter it into the following challenges...
Make it colourful.....light by candle/lantern
Craft your days away....bingo (top line lace, pearls & pins
The sweet stop.....Sketch

Bling It On

Aarrrggghhh my lap top has broken, I've tried everything to revive it but it's no good. Everyone I've asked seems to think it's the motherboard. I'm just glad that I have Internet access through my phone. I've got the blogger app on my iPhone so I can at least post my dt cards on here. I can't link to other blogs using it so no challenges for a while.
This month on bling it on it's Mocca's turn to choose the challenge and she's done us a fab sketch. Here's my take on it. I've used one of our sponcers images it's the fab Meljen designs.

It's my birthday in 3 weeks so if I drop enough hints I might just get a new one.
Thanks for stopping by and keep your fingers crossed for me.

I started off by extending the frame under her dress with very fine pencil lines,
then I used copics v000 and bvoo on the skirt and bodice off
the dress, then i used the colourless blender to take out some colour
