Dottie's World Challenge - Coffee & Cream!




It's Sunday again, which means another Dottie's World Challenge. This week it is Karen who set the challenge;

"Coffee and Cream with spots or stripes"
and a Charmed download of course.


Now-rumaging through my papers I struggled to find much inspiration in these colours...I had images in my mind, but not the papers to go with them-frustrating! Eventually I found one lonely little sheet of 6x6 that fitted the bill, got my Copics out and coloured away! here is what I ended up with.
I used the "Holly in England" image from the Holly & Madison World Tour Collection-first time I have used this image and I thoroughly enjoyed colouring it! I duplicated the litte roses around her hat with the small rose embellishments and as I wanted a subtle effect for the stripes, I simply got my sewing machine out and sewed a few wavy lines...cheating I know, but it met the criteria! LOL

Dottie's world have some new Design Team members showing their creations, so the variety of examples is wider than ever. Make sure you pop over to have a look and join in the fun. The party over there is almost finished so don't miss out.

Hi Adele
So many thanks for your lovely comment on my Coffee & Cream card, and now I know that I have a whole week to submit a card at Dottie's, I will try and take part in future challenges (I'm not a very quick worker)!! I love this card you made as one of the DT - absolutely gorgeous - I started to write this comment an hour ago, but got side-tracked onto Elaine's Quixotic site - have left a comment and put a bit about her on my Blog, and am now going to order some charms from her! OOooh - I could spend 24/7 blogging - it's great! Have a lovely week, Sylvia xx
