DT post for Craftroom Challenge

Wow what a turnout we had for our first challenge, my fingers are red raw!  Thank you to everyone who took part itwas a fantastic success.  Let's hope you enjoy our next challenge as much!  This challenge has been chosen  by Kim and the challenge is 'Altered paper dolls'.  Now I didn't even know what these were when she suggested it so she explained it all and let me tell you I had a blast!!   I wasn't brave enough to try one from sratch for my first attempt so U took the easy route and found a fantastic site out in web world that has some amazing black templates for you to use. That site is called http://paperthinpersonas.com/ and I spoke to the lovely Rachel Cohen who thankfully let me use her fab templates for this challenge.  Thank you Rachel I don't think I could have done this one without your help!.

So here are my dolls


I used a pirate ship backdrop that I found as a blank image on the net, I'm not sure who made it but if anyone knows I would love to give them credit.  I coloured the whole backdrop with promarkers.



I have coloured the main sections in pro markers.  Them I added layers of lace and threaded some silver thread through the vest.  I added gems on the bracelets and glitter and gem on the belt.

For this doll I again coloured the main in pro markers, I have used black flock for a suede effect on the boots and hat, Glitter on the jacket with gems and a feather on the hat.

I will be entering this project into the following challenges

Thank you in advance for any comments you might wish to leave.
