How many of you have heard of Penny Blossom? So that's what I thought, not many - well do yourself a favour and follow the link to check out this new kid on the block!
Christine from Penny Blossom gave this away as a freebie, wow!
Isn't she just fabulous! I have never coloured dark skin and to tell the truth have always been scared to try! I have seen some images that have been coloured for dark skin and they don't look so good and I would hate to produce something that was a parody of the skin colour I was trying to portray! So I had a little play around with colour blends and decided this was OK!
I coloured her with Promarkers and her hair with Spectrum Noir markers. I teamed her up with some Paper Cellar paper and some die cut lace (Spellbinders) I also used some paper lace for the top that I inked to match the orange in her top. Then I just added some bling and WOC orange roses!
So what do you think - did I crack the skin colour?
