Passion for Promarkers - Sketch...

Good afternoon, crafty friends! I'm a little late posting as I've had to do the dreaded food shop today...but I'm here now to share our latest challenge over at Passion for Promarkers! This week it should have been the lovely Ali in the hostess chair, however, unfortunately she had to step down from the DT recently, so Denise has temporarily stepped into the hostess chair!  Ali had given us a fab sketch to work with, so this is still our theme for this week...
We are being sponsored by Ppinky Dolls, who are offering one lucky winner a choice of 3 digital images from their online store...
We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I went with the ever so sweet Abi's Love. These dolls have a real quirkiness to them and I often see them coloured up quite grungy and dark colours...but not me...I had to go with my favourite pastel colour tones!  I used a mix of papers from my latest disc Say it with Flowers and kept the colours quite muted...
Abi was coloured with my Pro/Flexmarkers and here's the colour list I used :
Skin - Coral, Dusky Pink, Blush
Hair - Umber, Cinnamon, Cappuccino
Dress - Dove Grey, Dusky Rose, Antique Pink, Ruby
Bow - Dusky Rose, Antique Pink, Ruby
Socks - Cool Grey 1, Pale Pink
I flipped the sketch and added a narrow satin ribbon and bow, plus a fishtail with button. There seemed to be quite a lot of empty space, so I added in a couple of the butterflies from my flower disc.  A touch of glitter and my signature three pearls and it was done...
I had made a bit of a boo boo before making this card, as I had a card all ready done to post, then realised that we had a sponsor image to use?!  But every cloud has a silver lining, as I now have another new sample card for my box which I will share with you tomorrow!
I hope you can find the time to join in with our fun challenge this week and look forward to seeing all your wonderful creations!
Hugs,
I'd like to enter my card into the following challenge :

Stunning, stunning, stunning Lisa! I'm so glad you went with your pastels. I've never seen a Ppinky Doll look so soft and sweet. Love your papers! Actually, I just love everything about your card!!
