Todays card I am sharing is for last weeks sketch in the Card a Day in the month of May challenge over at the TAC Savvy Projects Blog - check out Day one of this sketch featuring Pam Plencner! Here is the original sketch and a link to my original post with it.
Here is a new linky for this sketch only - join in and add your link!
And here is my latest card with the sketch...
Cute, right? I wanted to add something to the pink layer - or to add another layer behind the pattern paper - but I didn't! I resisted the urge to keep tweaking and called it done - anyone relate?
I started with the most luscious pink cardstock - from the Mia's Cottage cardstock Package. The pattern paper is a fun one from Kaleidoscope Girlz 8x8 Wing it Collection pad of papers - such FUN colors! The accent is a pink flower gem from the pink gem collection.
I of course colored my girl from Rolling By with Copic's - they seem to be the only coloring medium I can reach at the moment! I think I have become spoiled!
***Copic Combos***
skin: E000, E01, E21
Pads, wheels and helmet: YR15, Y17
shorts: RV02, RV04, RV34
background: B00, B000
As I am writing this up I realized I never colored her hair! Did you notice that before I told you - just for fun leave me a comment I am curious! I always tell my stamping friends that THEY are their worst critic and we really are aren't we! When some one makes a little mistake I always say "No one will notice that but you!" and this will be a testament to it for sure!
When I was coloring her shorts the RV02 and 04 were really brite for the pink of my card - so to tone them down a smidge I just went over them with the RV34. It took the bite off the pink and really did a good job making it match up. When you are using your copic's don't be afraid to try things like that to get the exact color you are looking for! You do have to remember the color numbers and how they work though - so try on a scrap piece first!
I sanded the edges of the pattern paper just a teensy weensy bit - just to set it apart from the pink card. Just a little designer touch that really make a card pop.
Have you checked out the TAC final Farewell list??? Don't miss out on the OZ-SOME savings!
You're right - I didn't even notice the "uncolored" hair! She's cute just the way she is. Can't wait to see you at seminar. Hugs.

Nope, didn't even notice her hair was left natural. She seems a little young to be dyeing her hair anyway! :D
Love the pretty colours matched to your patterned paper. Great card!
Thanks for sharing! :)
