FINALLY............MY VERY OWN VERSION OF

ELISHA JEAN.................so I went to Green Tangerines last night and picked up about 8 copics.....caused I so badly wanted to do a brown skin Elisha Jean.....it reminds me of my Ebony Elisha Jean.....anyhoo, I was lost when it came to choosing the right color tones...well believe it or not there was an instructor there and she literally spent about an 1 hour with me going over shading and stuff....take about being generous with your time...especially when one would normally have to pay for that kind of info.....anyHOO here is my version..I still got lots of learning to do, but I love her.....her dress is in 3d.....pockets are in glitter pink and there are pink rhinestones on the bottom of her dress, shoes and hair bow....the little tag is from the VALENTINES DAY MINI WORDS
JUST BECAUSE FRAME is from the ALL OCCASION FRAME SET
ELISHA JEAN is part of 3 girls called EVERYDAY ELISHA JEAN AND FRIENDS

MEET EVERYDAY ELISHA JEAN AND FRIENDS...

Hello everyone...I am super excited to have finally finished a set of little girls for the Cafe site...Elisha Jean is a little girl that reminds me of my own daughter and of course I had to make a few other girls to go along with her....each of the girls will be dressed the same, but their faces are a bit different as well as their hair...a little something for everyone (smile)...the first set is called everyday because they are dressed in a plain dress that can be easily paper piece....the set comes with the dress separate to paper piece if you like...they are sold individually and as a set...I hope to expand on their wardrobe as holidays approach and with the change of seasons....look for some projects to come soon....you can find the sets here

this one is Elisha Jean
