Digi Bells Blog Hop for June

It is time for another Digi Bells blog hop and this month I'm the first stop on the hop, so you should have arrived here from the Digi Bells blog.  If not, you may want to start there so you see all the details.As always, our blog hop is a chance to welcome a new release digi from the amazing Elizabeth Bell...This image is another oldie, reborn as a digi, specially brought out from Elisabeth's Archive. It is called "Belle on Carousel" and I think this is one of my very favourite digis. Here she is:

I fell in love with this image as it reminded me of my childhood when I dreamed that I owned a riding school and could spend my days riding horses. I remember riding may carousels, always pretending that the horses were real and we were galloping over the fields, not just going around in circles. I'm sure that is what Belle is doing, with her eyes closed, dreaming about riding in her imaginary world:

I printed Belle on Carousel with my Canon inkjet printer onto Copic Xpress Cardstock and coloured the image with Copic Markers. The Copics used are as follows: skin: E11, E00, E000, E0000, R20 hair: E29, E27, E35 clothes: YG03, YG25, G20, Y17, E27, W09, W07, W05 Carousel horse: Y26, Y23, Y21, R27, R24, R22, B04, B02, B01, W00, W01, Y15, Y17, Y11, R21, R20, W07, W05, Y28 
Here is a closer look at the delightful image.

I hope you like my card, I had all the intentions of making a 3D Carousel, but time just got the better of me this month. It certainly is something I have in mind to make a bit later on.

 
If you have just started the blog hop, keep following the trail to the very talented Carla.
