I recently participated in a blog hop over at Digi Stamps 4 Joy where they celebrated their 100th challenge ... and on one of the stops, I was lucky enough to win a $10 certificate to the store ... Yay me! I never win stuff, lol. Anyway, while I was browsing the store to pick out my images, I came across this hysterical image called Fashion Faux Pas ... I couldn't even wait for my chosen images to get emailed to me, I had to buy this one immediately! This card is for my very Bestie, and there's a hysterical story behind it ... 'nuff said that you can figure it out by the image on the card. I can share before she gets it because I doubt she'll make it over here before she gets the card.
Again, this is a digital image that I printed on Cryogen iridescent cardstock and colored with Copics. Holy cow, my Cryogen, Neenah and X-Press Blend It papers arrived JUST IN TIME. I had just printed out an adorable image onto Stampin Up's Whisper White and had one heck of a time with over saturation & mucking up the inks. I'll use SU's WW in a pinch when I'm only laying down light layers of color, but I had forgotten about the image being on the WW, so it ended up ... well, even though she'll never make it to a card or a project, I still can't throw her away ... I digress ... on to this card.
I layered with some SU's mustard and chocolate cardstocks and some pretty designer paper, don't ask me where I got it, I had already cut it down. I used one of my Sizzlette dies to cut out the flourish in the corner and kept this one simple in layers because I wanted to mail it right away tomorrow.
Copics used:
Skin: E04,11,21,00,000
Hair: E37,35,31,Y32,21
Clothing: YG97,95,93,91; Y15,11,000; N5,3,RV95,93,91
Bags: E47,44,43,42,41; C3,1,00
Smudge: B41,0000,colorless blender
I hope you like the card. The whole time I was making it, I was reminiscing about all the fun times I had with dearest Marti when she lived near here, and how she could get me laughing so hard I'd nearly ... well, you get the picture ... She's a wonderful person and a blast to be around and I wish she lived closer to me so I could see her all the time. I know I should call her more often, lets see if I can rectify that.
I'm posting this card in a few challenges, as well, which include:
