The Play Date Cafe - colour challenge PDCC104

This week over at

The Play Date Cafe

it's their '2nd Anniversary Challenge' & to celebrate

they have lots of lovely prizes to give out to lucky participants.

It was my first time joining in last week and I was thrilled to

get so many lovely comments and also a little award

for my blog - yay!!

Thanks guys!!

This week's (Anniversary) challenge is to use the colours

Mauve...Egg Yolk...Artichoke

What fabulous colours they are too!

I've decided that whenever I join in with these challenges

I will make a doll of some sort and mount it on a card

as I did last week.

As luck would have it I had some sari ribbon with two

of the colours already combined!

I machine stitched a few strips together to make the skirt.

The bodice is silver self adhesive tape coloured with alcohol inks

and roughly embossed freehand with a pointy stick.

Her shawl is more of the sari ribbon but with some felting yarn

meshed into it I did this with my new needle felting tool.

How easy it was to do too!

The background card is old music and book pages

coloured with distress ink and acrylic paint.

Her face is moulded from air dry clay and coloured

with water colour pencils and acrylic paint.

Her hair is mohair fleece.

(I've just realised I didn't give her any pupils in the eyes - oops!!)

Thanks for looking x
