As our wonderful team leader Jak says "Hold on to your hats ladies as it's that time again" - yup it's time for Mo Manning's Dream Team to get together and play. This month's theme is Ethnic Skin Tones and the gals are all saying it's MY fault as I am this month's host - LOL. I'm the start of the hop so you are in the right place to get going - and there are a couple of Mo prizes along the way too.
I thought this would be a fabulous theme as Mo has some absolutely gorgeous ethnic images - and some that can work either in light or dark skintones - and I wanted to highlight these. I chose one of my favourite images to play with - Sadie with Apples (available from Mo's old store)
Your next stop on the hop is the always marvellous Mina - but remember to check out the Dream Team Blog for regular inspiration.
In case you get lost the blog hop order is....
Debbie, Mina, Pops, Jak, Gretha, Kerttu, Jane, Julie, Heidy, Alice
(click on their links on my left sidebar if you need them - under Mo's banner)
Copics used - Skintones (R20, R11, E35, E33, E31, E30) plus E42, E41, E40, E39, E29, B97, B93, B91, B000, G29, G28, G24, G21, YG25, YG01, BG0000, R27, R17, R14, T4, T2, T0

Such a wonderful card and I can see that you have pracitced your skin tones, lol.
