Back to Cocoa & Cornflower

This week's challenge of Ruby & Gold plus jewels & gems is still running over at Passion for Promarkers, but the week before - the challenge colours were Cocoa & Cornflower plus a sketch which was chosen by me. You'll probably know that my DT submission was an altered bag, but I also made a card using the challenge colours and sketch - but dopey lugs here forgot to post it - duh!!

So, better late than never, here's my card. I splurged a wee bit recently and treated myself to some of the Women's Delight Collection over at Whiff of Joy, and my favourite one has to be this image - Pregnant Willow.

Image: Pregnant Willow by Whiff of Joy, coloured with Promarkers: Ivory & Blush for skin; sandstone, cinnamon, cocoa and umber for hair; cocoa and umber for top and shoes; cornflower and china blue for skirt and beads

Papers are Basic Grey Offbeat, coredinations card was used for matting and layering, cut with oval scallop nesties in the cuttlebug, blue panel embossed with birds and swirls folder. Floral Punchcraft ash branch punch, papermania flowers, kanban adhesive gems, greeting is Daisy & Dandelion. I turned the sketch upside down!

Here's Willow's close-up...
