Pink dotted paper from Simple Stories - Snap Color Vibe

Stripped paper from My Minds Eye - Dolled Up

Copic markers uses:

BG01, BG15, E11, E31, E33, E35, E50, E53, RV13, RV21, YR20

I have to say I was sweating it trying to color all the hair on this image

More hair than I am comfortable with, as I am just not that confident with hair

I took what I learned at my advanced Copic class and tried to apply it here

I was just praying, while coloring that I got all the highlights in the right place and did not goof up

I really didn't want to start over - I was stressing BIG time

I will keep on practicing hair, but realized it's good to be out of the comfort zone once in awhile

Thanks for stopping by today...

Angels or Fantasy Challenge

At Southern Girls Challenge today we kick off another challenge.

Challenge #49 - Angels or Fantasy theme

For my card I chose this beautiful fairy from A Day for Daisies.

I colored in with my Copic markers and I had some ink bleeding.

I didn't have any opaque white to clean the problem up, so I trimmed around the flower area.

I then circle cut the rest of the image out.  Great recovery, I so did not want to re-color this image.

Our sponsor this week is:
