Hello! I have two cards to show you today, both using gorgeous images from ching-chou kuik. For the first one, called The Seahorse I colored the image and the background with Copic markers, and then I went over the background with Twinkling H2O watercolors. I finished the card off with a little sparkle from a Sakura Clear Stardust gel pen, some pearls and a little stitching.
The Details:
Stamp: ching-chou kuik's The Seahorse - from Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: My Minds Eye, Dark Chocolate and White (Papertrey Ink)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics:
Skin: R00,E00,E11,E13,R20
Hair: G000,G00,G02
Clothes: BG72,BG75,G02,YG03 w/RV10 over it, YG95
Seahorses: YG21,YG03 w/RV10 over it, YG95
Background: E47,E49
Misc: Twinkling H2o watercolors, Recollections Stick on Pearls, Sakura Clear Stardust Pen
On the second one, called The Dragonfly, I again used my Copics to color the image. I left the background white and then painted it with Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam in Chandelier. It is hard to see in the photo, but in real life it has a beautiful sparkle that is subtler than my usual Stardust Stickles. To complete the card I "framed" the image with a Spellbinders die cut and added some gems around the scalloped circle.
