Anyway as I'm sure all of you know Krista is having a GDT call so I thought I'd throw me hat in so to speak.

I'm not holding out much hope though as there are loads of fantastic entries already.  But you gotta try right?

..............and I've made it by the skin of me teeth as the call closes in a couple of hours!!!

Papers are from Nitwits, lace and flowers WOC and me stash.  Sentiment from Polka Doodles.

All coloured up with copics and a bit of black pencil on her hair.

So, here's my effort.

Wish me luck

The image is Candy Factory , a digi available at the store.  Coloured with copics, sakura glitter
pens and some stickles .  Papers are Nitwits, brad is Dovecraft, perfect for this image isn't it?  Twine

Anyway before I go I'd best tell you what the challenge is over on Karen's Doodles this week.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy

CHECK IT OUT

Yip, go grab those checked and gingham papers ladies and play along with us Doodle Princesses.

I've used Dance Fever lady for this one, love her tie dye trousers.  I achieved the look by dotting my colourless blender all over once I'd finished colouring.  Just something a wee bit different lol.

Papers are NitWits, sentiment is Sparkle n Sprinkle, brad and ribbon from me stash.

So, that's my effort for this week girls.  I do hope you'll play along.
