This card is a case of one of Dawns fabulous cards...(who was the featured stamper last week) you can see her gallery here. I'm late....I had it all planned out last week..but didn't get a chance to play. This is the Beautiful card I cased.
This Cute Snowgal is from High Hopes and is called, "Crystal Snowlady"
This is also my first card using copics (so be kind)....My daughter Trina was visiting a few weeks ago...and brought her copics along for me to try out. I have a lot to learn about using these markers.
I did use a some blue prismas over the snowladies body... a bit of black on the grays....and red for the cheeks.
The background is created by masking the snowlady and using a mop brush dipped in bordering blue.
I used scribbles for the snow and snowflake...sprinkling it with glitter before it dried. Details...like dots...are done with acrylic white paint.
Ink - Memento tuxedo black, bordering blue, pretty in pink
Paper - GP white, my minds eye, blue bayou, wild wasabi
Accessories - cord, ribbon, charm, brads, bling, glitter, acrylic white paint, sewing
I hope everyone is enjoying the season amidst being crazy busy. I can't believe how fast Christmas is creeping up. It's still pretty cool here...but is suppose to warm up a little on the weekend.
Have a Great Day Everyone, Be Merry!!..and.....Thank you so much for your Wonderful Comments!!
