All Dressed Up Digi Image 'Party Frock' Card



All Dressed Up Digi Image 'Party Frock' Card 




Good evening to you all 
Thought I would share with you how I made this  card
using ALL DRESSED UP Digi Image 'PARTY FROCK' from Etsy


I mainly use Polychromos Pencils By Faber Castell - they are oil based pencils and I find 
they give a very smooth finish to my pictures.

I generally use the following pencils for my skin shades


I always start off light with Light Fresh 9201-132 and build up in the shaded areas with each darker tone pencil and only using 9201-130 for the cheek area.



Next I decided the dress would be blue and I used the following shades:



I started with the lightest colour first - grey 1 9201-230
Then added Sky Blue 9201-146



 Then I took  Black 9201-199 and added the darkest shaded areas to the dress.


Once I had added the black I used Blue 9201-146 over the top of the black to create the definition to the dress.


When I was happy with the shading I added My Blending Solution with a stub in a downwards movement pulling the dark to light - creating a smoother finish.

 



Then I moved on to the hair - and used the following colours :


Starting with the lightest 9201-185 and building up to black 9201-199

I always like to ground my digis and add a grey background - I used the following for this:




The Paper I decided to use is by 
Docrafts Papermania The Capsule Collection - 
Parisienne Blue on a white pearl card. 


I added clear diamond stones for her earing and added a larger one to the bow.

 Hope this has been of help and you have enjoyed seeing the creation of this card.

Please leave any comments or questions you have.

Many Thanks
Ness
