I went for something a bit different for my card this week...
I again chose to work with one of Ching-Chou Kuik's gorgeous digi stamps, this time one called Enchanting Gold:
I started colouring her with my Promarkers, giving her deep red hair... and she looked so striking with red hair and no colouring on the skin/background etc that I decided to keep that contrast, adding some gold accents and shading her skin very minimally with a very light grey colour:
I also added some sparkle to the gold areas, using Stickles:
I kept the card very clean and simple, like the image, going for maximum contrast between clean white space, the flash of red colour, and the golden sparkle - I just used a sparkling gold ribbon and a few dots of red Stickles.

Something very Haunting about this one! Love, love, love your shading and fabulous hair so rich and vibrant in contact with skin tone.
Another amazing card.
Best wishes, Sharon
I love the tone-on-tone scheme you have done Ali. Matching the gold with that red is very striking too.
Great work!!

Ali- this is so unique and absolutely stunning. I love what you did and how you maintained the contrast. So creative!
Wow, she looks so lovely, Ali! Love your colour scheme and the CAS style. The red and gold looks so great together. Also love the porcelain teint you gave her skin.
Hugs, Karina

Lovely Ali, I keep going back to the eyes, they really stand out on this card, she's lovely looking but her eyes have a real sparkle.
Love it!!!! So cool! The colors! Your coloring! Wow!!!!! Hugs Milo <3
I am in love with how you colored this image. The contrast between her hair and her skin is fabulous. There's just something very striking about it.
Wow - just stunning! I absolutely love how you've colored this image, and the card is a perfect example of Clean and Simple (although "Stunning" would be a better "S" word for CAS in this case)!
striking creation, love the color scheme. it really stands out!
