Firstly I would just like to say .... aaahhhh it's nice to be back. I have not been able to create for a few nights due to night shift at work and I really was looking forward to doing something tonight. Unfortunately I have a doozy of a headache so my creation is not what I was hoping for ... but I'm still happy with it.
I only work part time these days (as I have a 2 year old daughter) and to be totally honest I don't know how I ever did my job full time. It's quite a high stress and emotional job and last night was a really horrible shift and I must admit I was a bit emotional driving home (thankfully I kept it together at work and was professional).
So I think that is why I have a headache today .... lost sleep and tension.
Anyway enough whining .... I have coloured this absolutely gorgeous little girl image from Tickled Pink Stamps, Cherrie with Rose. This image reminds me of my little girl so I coloured her with similar hair and skin colouring.
As you know my favourite colour is purple and it is a common theme of my cards but the other week I entered a challenge where you had to use orange and even though I'm not particularly fond of the colour I was quite happy with the outcome. So I thought I would give it another go.
I have just done a basic layout and then attached the sweet little image with some magic mount. I coloured the ribbon with YR68 as I didn't have any orange ribbon. The circle behind the image I cut on my Gazelle (a Die cut machine I'm trying to learn how to use) The Copics I used on the image are:-
Y15, Y17 - Yellow Areas
YR61, 65, 68 - Orange Areas
B93, 95, 97 - Jeans
R32, 35, 37 & YG63, 67 - Rose
E000, 00, 02 - Skin
E31, 33, 35, 37 - Hair
I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:-
Tickled Pink Stamps - Challenge #33 Anything Goes
iCopic Weekly Challenges - #44 Colour Embellishment
iCopic - All About Children Blog Hop

Thankyou for stopping by :) I'm going to have some more 'therapy' now .... colouring is such awesome therapy and makes me so happy .... so I'm just going to colour something for the sake of colouring :)
Hope to have something more for you tomorrow.
