Karleigh Sue - Beach Hottie

What a day to share a Karleigh Sue summer image.. 

the sun is out and its is a tad warmer than it has been of late..

I loved this image when Cheri asked us to do something with her..
 so much I made 2 cards with her..
1 is on this blog, the 2nd is on the next blog..

Beach Hottie

The skin and hair colours were the same for both - I still struggle with hair...  but I am only 3 months into using my pro markers..

Hair - walnut, cocoa, sandstone, satin

Skin - Apricot, oatmeal blush

Hat/towel - lime zest, soft lime, lime green

Ribbon/Bikini/Shoes - magenta, carmine, cocktail pink

Pampered Rainy Days inspirational blog

I had fun with these images..

but wanted something other than a card...

I used Karleigh Sue Pampered and Rainy Days on a tissue box cover.

The tissue box template can be found at Tattered Lace downloads
(a word of warning though - the tissue boxes do vary in size quite a bit!)

I used Pro Markers to colour the images

skin - Apricot, oatmeal, blush

Chair - Almond, putty, tan

Robe - mandarin, pumpkin, amber

Towel - sunflower, tulip yellow, buttercup

bowl/book - lavender, lilac purple

Water - powder blue, arctic blue, sky blue

Hair - almond, putty, tan

Raincoat - sunflower, tulip yellow, buttercup

Umbrella/shoes - mandarin, pumpkin, amber

Both images are repeated on opposite sides of the box.

Backing papers and card stock are from my stash,

along with my new favourite embelishments of ribbons/lace

kind Regards

Outside the box - finished..

I've finished the front cover..

I really enjoyed this project (even if it took me a while to make the first move!)

I also like the fact that the image (Treason from Rick St Dennis) was a pleasure to colour even though it was almost A4 in size..
