OMG - I cannot tell you how tickled I am with this card! So tickled that I had to post for a second time today! So be sure to check out my other blog hop card too!
It all started this morning at the beginning of our TAC Wicked Good Blog Hop. If you have not checked it out yet you gotta go see it and click thru to all the players.
So I was so in love with Mischelle's card - I had to give it a whirl. It is so funny because this week I JUST got the girl set that is the counterpart to the boy set she used. Yes it is a Christmas set - gone wicked! So I decided to make a BRIDE for her Boy! Big Squeals in my studio! So what do you think?

So I masked off the face on the girl - too sweet to be spooky! I did it by just wiping the ink off that area with a clean baby wipe before I stamped. I colored her whole face green then used a Copic Blender to white out the circles for her eyes. Then I heat set the whole thing to be sure the marker was dry. I do not have a copic Multi liner so I used my Sharpie pen. Worked like a charm! I drew in her eyeballs and stitches with it LAST - you do not want to use your copics on top of sharpie. I have never tried the deep shadows behind and image - and it was a challenge! I always make my things outside! :-)
***Copic Combos***
skin: YG11, YG63 an BG93 for shadow
hair: C1, C3, C5 and C7
dress and slippers: BV31 and BV23
Dark shadows and floor: BV29, C7, C5, C3 and C1 for lightest
Eyes: RV42 and blender
I added the white highlights and edged the whole thing with a sponge and Charcoal Palette Ink.
The background is the tree randomly stamped and embossed in black - then I inked the edges and added more embossing. I pierced a line above and below the image on the black cardstock. I do not sew - not even paper!
I could not seem to squeeze a sentiment on this one - I wish I had a trick or treat teeny weeney - but I gave up looking and wanted to post it! SO I hope you like my bride - and shameless CASE of Mischelle's card (which was a CASE of Asele's card here!) Be sure to join in the hop or atleast check out the rest of the hoppers!
Oh MY!!!!
I love what you did to her!!! LOL!!!
It goes perfect with Mischelle's!

Another eery creation. Great job, even though I tend to like the more "good" than "wicked" ones. It really looks "halloweenish"!
