OK, this time Zoe set us the following task:
"Recolour an image from earlier in the year............and share both"
Not too daunting a task until you have a migraine for 3 days, then find yourself left with a head that feels like it's full of marshmallow! I've had the concentration span of a goldfish since Monday so not surprisingly my initial Copic recreation went in the bin - major booboo. Hence I finally opted for pencils - at least I could erase the mistakes!!!
Anyway, here goes, this is the original image I coloured with Copics way back in August
and here is the new version:
I chose a completely different colour palette (yellows, oranges and browns, oops and turquoise hair) with Caran D'Ache Supracolor Soft pencils on Kraft card. Oh and before I forget, yet again I remembered to choose my background papers first - see, I'm learning!!
As in my previous rendition, the flooring was added by yours truly with a Copic multiliner and the super cute little Christmas stamp was a new acquisition from LOTV. The flat backed pearls were from my teamie Elaines' store Quixotic Paperie.
Why not give it a go, this is an easy peasy challenge - at this time of year you don't need uber difficult challenges especially if you're brain is as mushed up as mine currently is!! Why not hop on over to the gallery to see what my teamies came up with which will hopefully inspire you to join in HERE
In the meantime I'm going to enter my little golden elves into some challenges myself:

Hiya Jane :) I remember when you did the first colouring of this image, I was just so impressed with the depth and shading, so in awe of your finished work! The second colouring has such a different look, I love your pencil work, and it's fab to see. Thanks for joining in with us at Sundays With Crissy this month. CoB
I remember the first one, Jane, but I must say I love both of them, really awesome colouring!
hugs, Alina
Gorgeous coloring on both of them, Jane!!
Oh Jane I didn't think you could top those elves, and its close enough to call a tie... Love, love, love them both.
Beef on weck is a western New York thing. The "weck" roll is an abbreviated word for the kimmelwick roll. Not sure I spelled that right either..lol
On pins & needles here waiting for your post!

Both images are beautiful, it looks superb in copics and you have achieved such a different, but equally superb, look with your pencils.
