After lunch today my husband and I wrapped our children's presents and that's when I realized that I forgot to alter the art journal I bought for my daughter! She loves to draw/doodle/tangle and asked for zentangle pens and a sketch book so being a stamper, I can't possibly just give her a sketch book, it has to be altered, right?!
I bought this Prima Doll last spring but tonight was her first inking. Oh what fun! I can't wait to play with her again!
We are in the midst of a tornado warning with lots of lighting and thundering so half way through my little project my daughter came down the stairs. I quickly hid the project under a pile of papers (not difficult to do since it looks like a bomb went off in here!)
Since this was my first inking I looked up Pinterest to get some ideas and so I had the page up on my computer. It caught my daughter's eye and we sat here for a good 30 minutes scrolling through the dolls. I hope she won't be disappointed with this as it's not nearly as extravagant as the ones she pointed out as favorites.
I colored her hair and body with copics but used Susie Australia's watercolor technique for the dress. I stamped TH Distress Wild Honey on aluminum foil and then with my aqua brush I colored the bodice, head band and added accents to the patterned paper skirt! I will be using this coloring technique frequently!!
Thank you so much Peggy for the fun color challenge! I decided on my color combo for this project after looking up today's challenge!
TFL!

LOL I just read Linda's comments on the front page of the gallery. I will email Linda and tell her I am the clumsy card maker that turns oppses into whew, I got away with it. I digress Angie, I know I have already commented on this card AND included it in the Best of 2014, but I have to say once again how wonderful this is. I LOVE the title too!!
