A Little Black Minnie!!!

The challenges here at CASual Fridays are always great fun and... er.... well...... challenging!, and this week is no exception :0)

We are asking you to use the colour BLACK as your card base colour....

We are sponsored by Lil' inker Designs this week and the lucky winner will receive a gift card to spend in their online store...have you seen the yummy stamps and dies you could own???

I just had to try the gorgeous bow die for my card and as soon as I started to lay some fun patterned papers down on the black card this familiar character came to mind :0)

I do not own the Disney Cricut cartridge and I just love the challenge of making my own design so I started with two nestie circles for the outline which is an aperture in the front panel.
To make her face I cut the same size circle in dirty pink/flesh tone Bazzill and used oval dies to draw around to get the shape right before trimming with a craft knife. Her eyes and nose are made using various dies and punches.... her mouth,tongue and eyelashes are cut freehand with a craft knife :0)
The bow is just perfect for her with the tails left off....... much easier than tying a real one in ribbon :0)

As always, don't forget to hop over to the blog and check out the rest of the Girl Fridays cards and then join us in the players gallery...... see you there :0)

Thanks for looking
