My base card is Whisper White, with a layer of Basic Black, a layer of Bashful Blue, and finally a layer of Whisper White that I ran through my Cuttlebug with the Snowflake folder.
The next element is Basic Black and then Whisper White, on which I stamped the snowflake border in Bashful Blue. The bling starts here :) The next element is Basic Black, Bashful Blue, and the focal image using Neenah Solar White paper. This is my first foray into Copic coloring. I know, it's just a teeny tiny bit, but it's a start! And I think it's OK for a first attempt, but I think I need a lighter gray for outlining. I stamped the snowman in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored hin with two shades of blue (see picture of the Copics I used below); his buttons add more bling. This element is popped up on 3M foam squares. The sentiment was stamped on Whisper White with Basic Black, punched with a SU! large oval punch, and is attached to two felt snowflakes with a glittery snowflake brad. One more blue rhinestone dots the Winter "i" and black gingham ribbon completes the sketch requirements. I love this card and I hope you do too!

What a cute snowman, Bar! I love that big gingham ribbon!
ReplyDeleteDang Barbara, you incorporated a lot of challenges in this AWESOME card!!!! I LOVE the colors and of course, the bling!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a cutie, too! I just bought my first (2) Copics, one also being the gray that you used, and I thought the same thing---could be lighter. But honestly, looking at yours, it looks fine! I have been nervous to use it, though--still working on that!
