Now on to my creation....I decided to ink up Shy Little Nikki from Inky Impressions. I love this image and it has been a while since I inked her up. It somehow made me feel warm in the frigid temperatures we are experieincing to color and image that reminds me of Spring and sunshine. I used the sketch from
Sketch Saturday #85. The paper is from one of my fave lines of Basic Grey....Nook and Pantry. I paper pieced part of her outfit and colored the rest with Prisma Color Pencils and Gamsol.
