Birthday

Welcome and Happy Sunday afternoon. I'm back with a quick share, of yet another lady image that I colored with copics last summer. I'm trying to go through some colored images and use up some of the UFO's, so I hope you won't get too bored with the same ole. I'll go on to something else with the next card - hopefully!

- unknown stamp image - as I don't own this stamp. It was stamped during a group meeting when we were exchanging stamps that we each didn't have. It is colored with copics, and after die cutting, sponging the edges with DI blue jeans, I added a shadow of Y0000 around her figure for a sort of sun-glow look. Spica red added to the hat plume and blue spica on her hat for some sparkle. Small red rhinestone on the plume.

- Light yellow cardstock embossed with a Darice EF. Chose this color to emphasize the yellow shading around her silhouette.

-  dark blue mat was cut from Paper Studio paper with some deckled shaped scissors. On this paper, the scissors chewed - rather than cut - in small places, but I liked the effect. This paper has the look of mulberry paper, but much thicker...almost like handmade paper.  Used same paper to cut the sentiment mat with an SU circle punch; the punch didn't like this paper either. A Paper Studio scallop punch used for the white background of the sentiment - sponged with the same Memento Paris Dusk  used for the sentiment stamping.

- Snippet of the blue mat paper used for the border, then snippet from the yellow c/s punched with an MS border punch. There are dots under the red piece, which didn't exactly line up as well as it should have..just a smidge off, so I covered that with the red snippet, added some glossy accents.

This lady reminds me of those photos of the Gibson girl in a way...minus the large mutton sleeves.

Enjoy your afternoon. Come again when you can, and God Bless. Hugs
