This is for Dawn's lovely F4A challenge - to use some encouraging words.
Unity Stamp Co have a lot of fabulous stamps with inspiring quotes and images, that can be all mixed and matched.
Technically I haven't altered this stamp, I have just added length using the blunt end of a Spectrum Noir marker. I photographed the packaging so you could see what I'm talking about. I used the same image on Monday ...I know...two CAS cards in a week, I digress, I added enough length to give the illusion of a dress, this time I did the whole dress.
I tried to do the colour challenge on Tuesday, the bluish-teal dress and the flowers in the boot were the colours, unfortunately I added a lot of brown and tan, so that was a non event and I pulled the pin and didn't upload it. I also smeared her lipstick, so really she was never going to be leaving the house!
I then duplicated Monday girl as I loved the colours, I botched her hem line, but that's OK as I fussy cut her and saved her for another day. By the time I got to Greenie today, I worked out where all the highlights in her hat should be, how long to colour her dress and how to do her hair properly.
Greenie is a bit pale as I did her skin with coloured pencils. The other girls are a combination of Copics covered with pencils and pencils covered with Copics - wish I had written that down LOL.
Thank you for looking and thank you for making Splitcoaststamperville such a wonderful second home and a very important part of my life.

Susie, your colouring is fabulous. And the row of buttons down the front of her dress, wow. I'm listening to a news report on London Fashion Week, and thinking she should be there. Love the way you added in the boot image. Favourited.

Oh, here you are doing your magic, Susie, and I love it. What a fab dress you gave her and I really like the buttons down the front. Leave the house with smeared lipstick.....no way. HAHA I see that was remedied. Awesome creation!

Susie, you have taken this Unity stamp from "terrific" to absolutely "spectacular". Your super coloring and added details leave their sample in the dust!!

Unity needs to hire you to make samples...this is another great card using one of their fab woman images. Your coloring is amazing..I love the "buttons" down the dress...and that boot...terrific! And you added a very encouraging message..I know you don't always add sentiments/quotes on your cards but it's perfect here..that one was made for a longer card.

I want to take Susie's 101 class in coloring. I love how you highlighted this hat, and how you lengthened the dress and added the buttons to give it a little bit different style. I do love these Unity girl images. Coloring and paper piecing these beautiful ladies does remind me of my love of paper dolls as a child.
Love this card.
