Skeleton Girl Card

Card

I love this image. The skeleton girl image was a freebie from Beccy's Place. The site has a lot of really great digital stamps. Check it out!

I colored my image with chalks and colored pencils. I added some glitter and a purple gem to give the card some "sparkle".

Tip: Chalks are an easy way to color in a design. You don't have to worry about smearing the ink from your printer and if you make a mistake, you can easily erase it. I use eye make-up applicators to apply my chalks.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Haunted Design House - color challenge #137
Top Tip Tuesday - #78 sparkles
Simon Says Stamp & Show - Anything goes
Poisoned Peas - goth or emo
The Paper Shelter - #68 Anything goes
Craft Your Passion - #114 Anything goes
ATC's with Attitude - #16 Anything goes
Fat Pages with Attitude - #16 Anything goes
Stamping with Dragon - Anything goes
Forever Night - #39 Anything goes
Paper Crafting Journey - colour it up


I hope you will take a peek at these great sites. You will be inspired to try a "challenge" yourself!

    Great card Wendy, well done! I like how you coloured her and was interested to read that you used chalks. I will have to dig mine out again and have a little play.
    Cheers,

    Fab tip about colouring with the make-up applicators. I have never tried colouring entirely with chalks, but I love using chalks for my backgrounds. Love your sparkles too.
