Birthday Beauty
I have a card share today! I made this card for a friends birthday. I'm super nervous because she is super amazing at copic coloring and an awesome card maker/scrap booker!! This image is Beauty, one of my Super Secret Stamp Club stamps from The Greeting Farm. I colored her with my copics. Skin - E0000, E000, & E00. Cheeks - E21. Hair - E35, E37, E39, & E18. Dress - RV52, RV63, & RV55. Shoes - RV63 & RV55. Rose - YR12, YR14, & G40. She's matted onto a small piece of cardstock from Prima: En Francais. And that mat is adhered to another piece of cardstock from that same stack. I use a sheer pink piece of ribbon from Hobby Lobby and tied it into a pretty bow. I inked all the edges with Tim Holtz distress ink in Victorian Velvet (except the actual image. I used orange ink to compliment the rose) and accented each corner with my Viva Décor pearl pen in Ice White. I also added it to her hair barrette. The sentiment is from a pack I got at Hobby Lobby and inked it in the same TH:VV ink. All of that is placed on a white, pre-folded base from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby). I left the inside blank and just wrote my own comments. I actually tried a little distressing on the back, just because I know she likes pink and teal. I didn't show the back though :) I really hope she likes it because as I said before she is a professional...and I most certainly am not lol! I'm also going to use this card to enter into the Krafty Girls challenge. Check them out at kraftygirls.blogspot.com and have a great day!!!

Thank you! I would recommend starting with the skin tones. Don't be intimidated! There are tons of videos on copic coloring. I took a self paced, on line class to learn basics and just searched videos after that. It just takes practice :)
DeleteYou did a great job coloring her. I love the big wide eyes!!
