Back to School

Here is an image I shook the dust off , I last used her on a project on 24th August last year, so she was well and truly dusty. 

She is so absolutly perfect for those Back to school projects

I have attached her to a little apple shaped carton, ideal for all those little bits on your desk.

The apple was cut on my portrait.

The image is from The Paper Shelter 

and is called

Learning is Fun 

You can find her here

I have coloured her in Graphic Markers

I have coloured her with Graph'It Markers

Added a few spots of red liquid pearls

And finished of with a bow that took me about 45 minutes to look anything like a bow!

Wow two days running blogging two posts a day

for bringing out these lush new digi stamps

a total love to colour up, which I did using Graph'It Markers . I adore her in the Greens and Oranges but think she would look just as cool in pale pinks.

The white background I cut on my portrait

some ribbon (excuse my messy bow) , some pearls, a charm, some twine and a few flowers
