Beret Marci

Hello hello! Today there is a new challenge over at La La Land Crafts and you will know as soon as I tell you what it is that it was hard for me!! The theme this week is NO FLOWERS! NO FLOWERS?!?!? WHAT! Yes I am tapping my foot and wondering who picked this theme as it certainly wasn't me!! hehe!

I kind of cheated...I decided to just colour a really big image to try and make it no space for flowers LOL! So here is my Beret Marci :) She is one of the new stamps for the LLLC CHA release! Oh have you seen pictures of the CHA booth aswell? I have two cards there! woot woot!

Ahhh cutie!! Love how chic she looks :) Here are the copic colours that I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R11
Hair: E50, E53, E43, E57
Blue Outfit: BG000, BG91, BG93, BG95, BG97, B99
Red Outfit: R22, R29, R46, R59
Suitcase: E11, E13, E15, E18
Shading Around: BG0000, BG00, BG72, Blender
