Primrose Duo

Thursday already! Where did this week go? Today I am sharing a couple more images that I colored at CHA. I wanted to play around with skin tones so one of the girls has a deeper complexion than the other.
This is "Primrose" from the Pure Innocence collection at My Favorite Things. I used a wedding cricut cartridge for the card base and then just cut out the girls once I was finished coloring them with my copics.
Here is the darker complexion. I used the combo of E11,13,15. I also took my blender pen and gave her skirt a subtle pattern (you may have to click on the actual photo to see that up closer).
Here is my "standard" light skin tone combo of E50,21,33 (R20 for the cheeks). I love how changing their skin tones makes a completely different look. I need to remember that not everyone is as pasty white as myself.....

Enjoy your day!
