Pink Gem Challenge 26

Good morning everyone, we have a brand new challenge starting today, which will run for the next two weeks, over at A Gem of A Challenge, and this week, they let me chose a sketch :)

  I normally like to test a sketch before I commit self,to make sure it all fits, but I never got round to this one, so was a tad worried... but all went on nicely... phew LOL thank goodess.

I have chosen Rainbow Chloe, isn't she just so adorable, I have also used the 'out of the box' technique, as wanted her to 'sit' on the edge. (actually didn't fluff it up this time! lol)

Papers used (all the blues from Bearly Mine Designs), pink from stash. The sentiment is also by Pink Gem, but for this one I cut off the tail (cos couldnt get that to fit on card :( but wanted this particular text. plus the little butterfly goes just right with the image.
Copics used.
E01, E00, E000, E11, E13, YR23, Y23, Y26, Y28, Y000, R81, R83, R85, R89, B12, B14, B16, B18 (didn't she do well ! lol)  thats got to be a first, remembering ALL the numbers... :) Have to admit, it was a bit of a last.min.com again, getting the card in on time, slapping wrists as speak.... so numbers still fresh in head lol..

I hope you all join in the fun, and also, enjoy the sketch. We had a fabulous response to last weeks challenge, over a 150 enteries, for the Boys. !!(make sure you pop in and see if you was lucky enough to win a prize) brillliant, hope we get similar numbers again this time, :) it is always so lovely to pop by your blogs and check out your fabby cards and creations.
