OSAAT DT CARD - CHALLENGE NO 200 - USE A DIGI

Good morning peeps and fellow blogsters out there - I do hope you are having a good weekend.   Today (Friday) I am scheduling my card for the OSAAT DT - the Challenge runs for a week and the theme is for you to use a digi.   My teamie chose Ankhi by Priyanka from Stitchy Bear Outlet.   Ankhi means 'eyes' apparently, so that's another new thing I've learned on a Friday which (as I have mumbled before) means I get another wrinkle by Saturday!  I am now resembling a Chinese Shar Pei - mind you I do think they are rather cute and lovable!
I decided that she would look nice in sort of Turquoise(y) blues so her ankhis are very blue!  (I use tissues meself ;o)).   I used my Flexmarkers to colour her in but I'm still practising with the highlights on hair and haven't quite mastered it yet - will keep on trying!
There are some little birdies flying around her and they made me smile 'cos they look as if they are wearing syrups*!  I was going to colour them in a different shade (ginger??) but I didn't give in to my naughtiness, so I gave them a deeper blue tummy instead!    I even made a little pin with turquoise and blue coloured pearls to go with the flower embellishment at the side!


I would love it if you took part in our challenge this week, check out the site to see what gorgeous creations my Teamies have made - some of them have also made cards using this digi and they are brilliant.

Big hugs to you all

* For my international friends out there a syrup is a wig (comes from Cockney rhyming slang Syrup of Figs - wigs).

  2. Sue, I am glad you explained what you meant by " syrup" with those birds seeing how up here in Scotland syrup comes in a tin and is golden in colour and very sticky. But now I know thank you. Love your card and that colour is gorgeous. Hazel x

  18. This is so lovely! Your colouring looks great to me, although I know we're often our own toughest critics. And that paper in the background is gorgeous - so delicate but without being 'wishy-washy' if you know what I mean!

  19. Delightful design on this pretty image. Your hair shading looks fine to me. Hair is hard to do, I think (for me anyway!). Love the turquoises & blues on this one, along with the pretty embellies you selected (the colored pin is gorgeous) and the lovely bkgrnd papers. Thanks for the explanation on syrup. Love reading about the slang & what it means. TFS & Hugs
