This sweet image is a new release called Charliene April Showers from Clear Dollar Stamps. This is her maiden voyage. I made this card for Clear Dollar Stamps Weekend Color Challenge.
Challenge Colors:
Baja Breeze
Pixie Pink
Certainly Celery
Tangerine Tango (optional)
Neutral:White
I chose to keep lovely Charliene white and shade with Pixie Pink. I outlined with SU Pixie Pink marker the fine end. Then watercolored scribbling the marker on foil and using an aqua pen. Charliene loves to look pretty so I gave her some flowers in the top of her mane using Flower Soft Heather from Clear Dollar Stamps. She was paper pieced onto the pink. I was excited to use my new dew drops by Robin's Nest also from Clear Dollar Stamps.
I hope you find inspiration here. I welcome and return comments. TFL
