For my card I chose Lizzie from InStyle Stamps. I am learning how to shade with my Copics and highlight with my white gel pen and am pretty tickled with how she turned out! I have not perfected staying in the lines with these markers yet, so I chose to emboss the image to create a barrier between colors. I LOVE the way it turned out and will be using this technique more often.
The papers I chose to use are from a 6x6 Basic Grey paper pack called Lilykate. I chose these because I had already colored the image and needed to find papers that matched! LOL
The supplies used for this card are:
Stamps: InStyle Stamps Lizzie, CTMH Say it in Style
Paper: Basic Grey Lilykate
Embellishments: Sparkles Chloe's Closet, Paper Flower, ribbon and cordoroy button CTMH
Ink: CTMH Lilac Mist
Hope this has inspired you to play along with the Mojo Monday sketch this week!

I LOVE that stamp....the highlights really work. I will have to try embossing my images and see if that helps me. What embossing powder did you use?
ReplyDeleteThe card is brilliant!
A fabulous card, love the colours. hugs rachxx
ReplyDeleteThanks guys for the compliments!! I was really unsure about whether I really liked the way this card turned out. You know how usually a card looks better in person than it does on the computer? Well, I think that I like this card better on the computer....LOL
ReplyDeleteSarah, I inked this image in Versamark, then in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it onto my CS. I then used Fine Detail Embossing Powder over it and embossed.
Another way to do this is to use a Black craft ink and Fine Detail Embossing Powder. I have only tried this method 1 time at a card class that i go to and it was using a sentiment stamp. But it did turn out nice.
Hope this helps!
you did a great job on the challenge..your coloring is fantastic
