Cordelia

Hi everyone! Hope you are doing well today...it is pouring down rain over here - perfect colouring weather and I am working on some more videos for the youtube channel! :) If you have any tutorial ideas please let me know :) You might recognise the image below from my videos!

We have a brand new challenge this week over at Kraftin Kimmie and it is 'Something Old and Something New'. My something old is my kk stamp Cordelia - she was the first one I ever got and I won her over on the lovely Shelby's blog :D Finally inking her up! And my something new is the cute little glass bottle with the cork stopper...I thought it went perfectly with her like a message in the bottle type theme :) 


If you would like to see how I coloured her tail and the background you can pop over to my youtube channel here. Here are the copic colours that I used:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R11
Hair: E50, E53, E43, E57
Tail: Purple V000, V01, V04, V06, V09 Blue BG000, BG01, BG05, BG09
Starfish: Y11, Y15, Y17, E33
Shells: G000, G00, BG72


Can't wait to see you all playing along this week! Thanks for stopping by :) xx
