New Beginnings

Good afternoon everyone, what a week...hope the next months slow down a little as this one is going far too quickly lol!!  Firstly I would just like to welcome my new followers, and hope everyone has had a great New Year...Well on to my card for today, my neighbour and colleague has just had a new baby boy.  So my card today is all about "New Beginnings" I chose a Mo Manning image..isn't he gorgeous, but I had my problems, he's been coloured in more than once, as I struggle with skin and I wanted to do it with my prisma pencils, so lots of trial and error images lol!! I am really pleased how this last effort has turned out, tried lots of different colours and liked this one the best..the first one I coloured in looked like he had been sun tanning all afternoon and was like a red lobster lol!! I did enjoy making this card and isn't that ribbon from the ribbon girl gorgeous!  These papers I have used are also stunning and fit this little guy so perfectly!

    Stunning card Marjorie. Adorable image and your colouring is fab. I'm still trying to get the hang of Prismas. If you don't mind me asking what colours have you used for the baby's skin?

    Hello Marjorie happy new year to you Hunny, your card is just gorgeous! Fabulous colouring though I would love to see the sunburnt version! Love the papers and how you have cut the flower from the same paper and the ribbon is lush!
