Make It Crafty Cute Girls

Hello everyone! Me again - Have you seen the new Cute Girls at Make It Crafty? Well if you haven't, you can see them all HERE! They are perfect for all crafters, illustrated with minimal details to practice your colouring skills - and so I decided I would practice too, using Distress Markers on them instead of my beloved Copics for a different look:)... Of course, my card is CAS - I know, I should practice on that too!!! Here it is...

Et bien sûr, ma carte est toute simple - je sais, là aussi je pourrais m'entraîner LOL!

I printed Sarah on watercolour paper and coloured with Distress Markers (plus 2 purple Tombows), added a Magnolia sentiment and a little chipboard heart from the Heart Flourish Borders set, coloured it in Copic and covered it in Stickles.

J'ai imprimé sur du papier aquarelle et je l'ai donc coloriée aux marqueurs aquarellables Distress + 2 Tombows violets pour être précise, j'ai ajouté un sentiment MAgnolia, un petit coeur colorié au Copic et recouvert de paillettes.
