Mia - Make it Crafty Feb Challenge

Hello :)

It's time for a new challenge and this months challenge is 'Details' add details to a Make it Crafty image with a black pen. Doodles or dots or squiggly lines, something that altars the image a little.

I used 'Mia' to add my details to and it wasn't easy, I don't draw so I struggled with this challenge. I used a grey lead pencil to 'map out' my squiggles then when I was happyish with it I went over it with a Black Copic Fine Liner 0.3 then coloured her and popped her on the card.

Mia Digital Image, Happy Chippy Adapt-a Word and Birthday Chippy Single Layered Word

I'm now a Tiddly Inks Design Team member!!

I was extremely surprised and excited to receive an email from Christy on Sunday asking if I would be interested in joining the Tiddly Inks DT, Hahaha what a silly question Heck Yeah I'm interested but I didn't reply immediately I needed to be practical and think this through, family, work and my other Design Teams had to be considered, could I fit this wonderful new opportunity into my busy schedule? After a few hours and some conversations with family and a couple of close friends the decision was made and here I am and I couldn't be happier! Thank you Christy for this new adventure. 

Those of you who know me know that I am in love with 'Molly' so I thought it fitting that my first post as a DT member would feature 'Molly' and here she is :)
