Challenge #97
Lots of Pink in December

This fortnights challenge 'Lots of Pink in December' has been chosen by Jennie.

I have had this image from Digital Stamps 4 Joy for ages and never coloured it.  It was won in one of their challenges just before they shut shop, so sad to see them close down as they had some awesome images. The image has been coloured with Distress Inks, a little bit of pencil colouring and stamping on the ostrich too.  Sheena Douglas stencil (from her time at Crafter's Companion) for the background and the sentiment was printed digitally.

I am entering this card in the following challenges :-

Welcome back to the IKEsWORLD challenges :)  do pop on over to IKEsWORLD to join in the challenge, it is always so much fun and  Ike produces the most amazing stamps, everything from off the wall to cute and fluffy :) :) :)

I just love this image and it is a wee while since I last used it, this challenge is the perfect chance to use it again.  The background was coloured with Distress Oxides and then I used a stencil and silver ink to add some more texture.  The image was coloured with Polychromos and then SN glitter clear pen on the scales to add the sheen.  To finish off I used some underwater themed stamps.
