Celebration.....

Hello everyone, my ex MIL whom I adore has a birthday in a couple of days so this card is doing double duty. Both celebrating her life and the 4th of July!

I chose to use ©ching-chou kuik's New Year Celebration for the image and the sentiment from the One Year Celebration sheet. I thought it was fitting with all of the fireworks in the background. She could do a double duty of celebrating!!! I of course colored her with my copics and also added some glossy accents to the fireworks to make them shine. My signature background was done with pastel chalks. A bit of stickles and a few dots of liquid pearls here and there finished her off. As far as embellishments I added a couple of Prima flowers, some swirl punches and gem stones. Enjoy!


Copics:
Skin: E00, E02, W1
Reds: R22. R27, R29
Blues: Boo, B12, B24, B28
Hair: E13, E17, E18, E19
Flowers: RV00, RV11
Leaves: G21, G24, W3
Water: BG11, BG13
Yellows: Y08, Y15
