The challenge this fortnight at Open-Minded Crafting Fun is Office supplies or job related.
It found it hard to pick an image for this challenge and really wanted to work with an image by one of our sponsors Aurora Wings, so one of my teamies told me to 'Think outside the box' and suggested the lovely 'Chinese Lady with Erhu' and go with Musician as a job.
Great, I thought until I came to colour her!!
I think she is the most challenging image I have ever coloured and also I printed her quite large I think she is about 7 inches high by 6 inches wide.
But I am so happy I went with the challenge of colouring her, it was great to stretch myself and I am more than happy with the finished card.
I used Copics to colour her and then fussy cut and added to an aged sheet music backing paper.
I also added a chinese fan from the sil store and also some chinese writing - which translated means 'Harmony'.
Finally I added a couple of Fimo roses I made and a rolled flower.
I hope I have inspired you to come and join in and look forward to seeing all your wonderful projects.
We once again have some fab sponsors for this challenge.
