Good morning!! After a good nights sleep I figure I am ready{awake} to write another post..hehe I made this card last night and it is another copic colored image that I colored at Linda's house on Halloween. It was salvaged by Linda's talented hands, when the highlighted area kept getting away from me and was getting darker and darker. I really thought this would never make my blog! It's a good thing I was in Linda's company! lol
This was colored without any paper in mind and this Cosmo Cricket seemed to be a good match. I played with several bow colors and settled on this 'pop' of bright green. That biutton is covering up a hole I made thinking I would put this glittery snowflake on here then it just got lost against the snowman.
This image is from a company called Plum Purdy. Pauline, another sistah in the stampin' posse, found these images and they reminded me of all the wood painting I did back when I was in my early 20's. That is exactly where this artist came from, tole painting, and now some of her images are in acrylic form.
Just something quick to show ya and I need to get back to the day job! Have a good one...
Paula this is simply stunning. You have done a beautiful job on colouring with copics! Your cards are such beautiful pieces of art! I wish I was on your mailing list at Christmas! Someone will be so lucky to receive this treasure!
