Here's the sketch:
And here's my card! Instead of putting the main image on the front of the card in a circle, I decided to cut a circle out and look through to the inside where the image is (this is where I was a little out of my "comfort" zone)! However, I love the end result! I used the BG Bittersweet papers (I absolutely LOVE this paper pack and know I will have to get some more)! The little girl is colored with my Copics. I used my new Shimmerz Blingz in hottie pink (butterfly and heart on the valentine) and pink poinsettia (girl's shirt, cheeks, and eyelids). You can see the Shimmerz better in the last picture. The ribbon and heart strands are my new purchases from Hobby Lobby. Flowers are from my stash. Also used were my nesties and Fiskars heart border punch (I am loving this punch).
Of course we have the finished inside too! Heart doily and ribbon were in my stash.
Here is the close up tilted so you can see the Shimmerz! It looks fabulous IRL! The Shimmerz gives it a soft sparkly look without taking away from the Copic coloring!
I hope you all have a fabulous day! Don't forget to sign up for my blog candy if you haven't already! Thanks for stopping by and taking a looksie!
