Sweet Birthday Wishes

Hi everyone! It's Sandie here today with a card I made featuring the super sweet C.C. Designs stamp, Swiss Pixie Rose with Balloon

I stamped the image onto Perfect Colouring Paper with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. 

To colour Rose I started with the skin, using E000, E00, E11, R20. 

For the hair I used E50, E51, E53, and applied some E33 as my darkest colour. 

For the colouring on the clothing I used my favourite pink colours R81, R83, R85 and R39. 

On the balloon I used Y13, Y15, Y17, Y19. 

and for the shoes, E42, E43, E44. C1, C3, 0

I added some shadows to the white areas using cool greys, C1 and C3. The cool greys have always been my go-to greys, but recently I bought the Neutrals (N) and I am just loving them. I will definitely be using them more. 

I like to melt the C1 and C3 together with the colourless blender. 

I applied white gel pen to make the little dots on her dress, and for the highlight on the balloon and shoes. 

I also added some 'ground' underneath her feet, using the C1, C3 and colourless blender, but the sentiment covers most of it up. 

Thanks for dropping in today. I hope it inspires :)
