Unusual Hair colours

The design team always do the twist and if you would like to use our theme then we would love to see it.
Have you been playing along with all our little games on our Facebook Fan Page if not it is well worth you checking out as we still have a colouring Completion running. Just click on the link at the bottom of this post and it will hop you there. Not a member then just click join and we will add you very quickly.

Now back to our challenge that runs for 2 weeks starting today
Today I have used this cutie called The girl baby Elf available HERE and as you can see I have gone with the colour Green for the forest as you know you have to look carefully to see them.

I have coloured my image with my promarkers.
DP is a Laura ashley sheet from way back.
Die cuts are Joy and memory box
Lace and pearl embellishments.
I got my glitter out for this one and hopefully you can see some of it on the  diecuts. Ialso used some Embossing powder with touches on the leaves and also white in her hair which has a slight sparkle.
I really enjoyed making this card as i dont often use different colours for hair.
I do hope you like it.

Can you believe it? CRAFT Challenge is already 7 years old.

Or if you wished alternative meaning of Can't Remember A Flipping Thing) on the 4th of May 2009.

We have now grown to be a large team of Design Team Members from all around the world, supplemented with lots of Guest Designers who join us for a month at a time.

We have always welcomed all kinds of craft, not just paper craft (unless specifically stated so in the challenge at the time) and are happy to have such a large group of faithful followers.
