I was going for a farmish down home feel - and combined the embossed dots and lattice to achieve it. I love all the texture just a scorpal and scor-bug can create! Toss in good ole Swiss dots and I am in heaven! I was playing some more with my Copic Markers too - they are really fun once you get your feet wet with them a little.

I kind of cheated on the tan of my bird - as far as "copic rules" go. They say to use one color - a medium value, then choose a darker and a lighter in its same number family - only jumping 1-3 numbers. Well when I did that i absolutely hated the brown it turned my turkey! (i mean chicken! LOL!) So I opted for jumping clear out of range and I shaded my hen with E31 and E53 - with the 53 being the shadow. To me it just matched the kraft better than any other combo. I think I edited out all the shading on his beak in photoshop - it is much more shaded than the picture looks.

So note to self - for Kraft and Copics - go for the E31 and E53! Adding that one to my shading journal.

Lots of prep today for tomorrows stamping night out! It is the last of this round of Sensational Six Hostess Club - that round went SO fast! I will be signing up new members at this event - so if you would like in let me know which month you want to hostess ASAP! (July-December)
