So, I thought I had this scheduled to go live on time, NOT...

and only discovered it this morning that it didn't post YIKES hate that when that happens

 

So here is my card...

To Adore, Cherish, Love...

Another fortnight challenge begins today over at Digi Haven

Our THEME...

I am using this beautiful image Mama Hug

From our SPONSOR: A Day for Daisies

Pink dotted paper from Simple Stories - Snap Color Vibe

Stripped paper from My Minds Eye - Dolled Up

Chocolate ink used on old CTMH sentiment from B1215 Life is

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...
