TGF - Blush Bonnie

Dana here and all I can say about this stamp is wow! I mean, seriously.... WOW!~

Meet Blush Bonnie from The Greeting Farm . She was so much fun to color! I knew I wanted her to match these amazing papers and brads from Wild Rose Studio.  I went with oranges for her dress, sock and shoes and I really like how she turned out.  I used Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade to add some orange to the "Thinking of You" (which comes with the image) and also to some of my flowers.
 Here's a close up:
Here's the colors I used to color her:
I should've crossed off YR02. It's so close to YR65 that I didn't bother using it.  You can see how I do that halo effect around my images here. This time I used V93 and V91 instead of the blues and went pretty heavy with the colorless blender to give it that blotchy look.  I am really loving V95, V93 and V91 for shadowing atm (at the moment). They are very grayed down purples and I am finding them perfect for shadows. Love them!!
I used Copic Opaque around the edge of the striped panel. I also used it with my stylus to put the dots around the scalloped die cut.  The other unsung heroes of every card I make is my Memento Ink and my X-Press It tape and papers.
Don't forget to play play along in our challenge and to join us on Facebook : )
Hugs~
