Weekend workshop #49 – Digi Friday

Before we start with this weeks workshop, we just wanted to let you all in on a bit of sad news. We are losing the lovely Debbi from PFP, she has so many other commitments that have taken a back seat since PFP came on the scene. Anyway we wish her the very best in what ever she decides to do in the future :) xxx

Right back to work, last weeks winner for the 3 images from Lexi's Creations is

** Maree **

This weeks sponsor is the lovely Janet from Pink Gem Designs. All you need to do is leave a comment to win 8...... yes 8 gorgeous images of your choice, the winner will be chosen randomly.

This weeks tutorial was done by Anja, now you can see that she is already apologising for her English, which I know you will all agree is fabulous, so without further ado here is Anja’s fabulous tutorial -

Finally it's my turn to do the workshop, and show you how I colour my image.

I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I hope my english is good enough :) I'm from Norway (same as my other team member Ida)!

Here goes:

This week we are being sponsored by Janet from the lovely Pink Gem Designs. The image is the supercute Summer Milly, and she fits me perfectly. My choice of colours is Pink (for those who know me, this is no surprise, hehe). I love tho blend in two or three colours in the same shade, to create a dept in the image.

First I start with the "basics", the lightest colour (either it's the skin or clothes)

The Skin I've coloured with Blush, and dress and flowers I've coloured with Pale Pink

For the next colours, to blend in with the basics, I've used Tan on the edges of the skin, and then used Blush again, this way it blends perfectly. On the dress I've used Dusky Rose, and then Pale Pink to blend it with. But on the socks, bow and flowers I've used Antique Pink on the edges, then used Dusky Rose on the next layer and at the end used Pale Pink for the last layer to blend perfectly.

The leaves first got a layer of Lime Zest, then in the center I've used Olive Green, and again I used a touch of Lime Zest again to blend it together.

To do the grass I've used Pear Green on the edges and blended it in with Lime Zest

I chose the hair to be a warm tone, not to dark. The basic colour I used is Vanilla

Then I've used Mustard and Raw Sienna to layer it, and blended it all with the vanilla again.

The tree had to be brown. I've started with the lovely Chestnut on the edges and blended it with Cinnamon.

And then to get some real texture, I've used the Blender to create some Life to the tree

I hope you've enjoyed my first tutorial, and this lovely Summer Milly from

the lovely Pink Gem Designs.
