I have a habit (I can't make up my mind if it's a good habit or a bad one...) of deciding to color an image without getting any info on it. What I mean by that is I don't look at the original art to see how the artist colored it and if I don't remember the name of it, I don't look at that either until afterwards. So, when I started this I thought "Oooh, I really want to make a Christmas card with this gorgeous wolf image." (Totally off topic, but I am currently reading this Young Adult werewolf series right now, where the trigger to "shift" is cold weather not the full moon.) Anyway, I finished it up and then saw the stamp is called "Fox Allure"! When I showed it to my DH he said,"Of course it's a fox!" But he did agree it could look like a very dainty wolf!
I colored the image with Copics and added a little stickles for sparkle. I painted the chipboard snowflakes with Pewter Crackle paint first and then added some stickles on top after the paint had dried.
The Details:
Stamp: Fox Allure (ching chou kuik Plate 64) Sentiment from Holiday Collage Sheet (Plate 50) - both from Sweet Pea Stamps
Paper: Echo Park, Oceans Tide (Papertrey Ink), White for image (Copic XPress)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics:
Skin: E000,E00,E11,E13,R00,R20
Hair: E43,E44,E47,E49
Clothes: R59,RV69,RV99,R24,R29,R39
Fox: W0,W1,W3,C1,BG72,BG75
Background: C1,C3
Misc: Frosted Lace and Stardust Stickles, Maya Road Chipboard Snowflakes, Brushed Pewter Distress Crackle Paint, Hat Pin and Beads (Retired Stampin Up), Ribbon (Taylored Expressions), Clear Stardust gel pen

it is a very beautiful card, love the colors. the embellishments are great. I, too, usually do not look at the original artwork or title until afterward, but then I don't pick out papers before coloring either....

ReplyDeleteI love the way you colored this image and made her into a christmas image!! So beautiful!! I love this card and that little fox/wolf is just too cute. He's just a little baby wolf so he's still small!lol!! I wasn't for sure waht it was either. I think I colored mine as a wolf and not a fox too. Oh well.
