Variations Week: Kate's View
Hi I'm Kate (aka Sparkle Tart) and I'm very excited to be participating in Variations Week for the first time, though I'm a bit nervous as the regular DT gals all create such stunning cards! For this variations week we are using the tropical image designed by Ching Chou Kuik, 'Toucan' available as a single image or as part of a fabulous plate - ©ching chou kuik's sheet 44, Plate 211.
I've chosen to colour my image with Copic markers and enhance the
colours with spica pens, these are wonderful for adding more than just
shimmer. If you look at the close up image below, you get a sneak preview of the technique I used to apply the Spica - can you spot the technique?
Don't worry if you can't figure it out from the image, because I've created a special clip to show you what I did. You can watch the clip below, or a larger version on our YouTube Channel.
Hope your day sparkles,
Kate P.
