Meet Cynthia

I have several images by Make it Crafty but this is the first one that I actually finished. I always get frustrated with my coloring and put them aside and then later pick it back up or start over. Well, this one I was bound and determined to finish ….. and I did.

This is Cynthia from the new 60’s girls digital collection. Isn’t she darling? I love everything about her and let me tell you if I had not a magnifying light it would have been next to impossible for me to stay in the lines. Gotta quit making the images so small ….. lol.

Along with Cynthia I also used Pebblestone Patch and Petals and Palings digital stamps.

For the frame I used the new Spellbinders Card Creator Polka Dot dies. These dies are designed by Cindy Echtinaw from Stamping Scrapping and I am soooo excited about these. Look at the detail.

I also used Spellbinders Card Creator Set A to cut out the inside of the polka dots. There is a full line of the card creator at Stamping Scrapping, be sure to check it out.

Here is a close up of my scene.

Hand Me Down

Well, yesterday I managed to get one more card in and just had to wait for the glitter to dry. Now that it is dry I finished assembling.

The image used here is the gorgeous Hand Me Downs from Saturated Canary. I so love these images, they are a joy to color and the eyes just bring them to life!

I kind of went a little off the card with the Magnolia swirls but I like the way that it turned out. I added flowers and used my Spellbinders Floral Ovals behind my image. Since she was a little large I traced the outside of Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large and then cut it out.

Here is a close up of her although I fought with creating folds in her dress and my color isn’t the best in the darkest area but she still looks good but me being a perfectionist …… oh well.

I colored her with the following Copics:

• Skin – E13, E11, E00, E000, R20, BG53
• Clothes – BG57, BG53, BG10, BG000, YR02, YR00, YR000, Ranger Stickles 
• Hair – E97, YR21, Y32

I had such a great time spending time walking around the beautiful gardens. Love it when the world is colorful!
