Grand Opening

Finally, the first official post.  I apologize for the delay, but a lot of life hit at the same time and several things had to be juggled about, but I finally got the card I wanted for this first post finished for my blog.  I hope you like her.

Full Front View

This little girl is a digi by Mo Manning called Girl with a Sign.  I love the versatility of this stamp as it can be used for any occasion by simply changing the sentiment inside the sign.  I love the way this shot came out as you can see the stickles I used, (Stardust on the lace, and Glam Pink on the hem) on her.  Plus you get a nice shot of the Ranger crackle I used on the sign to give it a more worn look.  She was colored using Copic Markers and the card was made from my stock of Bazzill cardstock.  I embellished just a bit using some ribbon and a bow I had in my stash.  I also accented her hair and shoes using a clear glaze pen.  It shows in her hair, but not as well in her shoes.  I guess it's the angle of the shot.  You can see some of the Spica pens I used on her dress and socks, but not so much in the grass, again I think it was the angle I used to take the shot.  I wasn't sure if I should post the recipe of colors I used in Copics to obtain this look or not, so on this first post I'll leave it up to you.  If you'd like me to include the colors I use, please leave it in the comments and I'll post them and I'll include them in the posts going forward.

Close-up Side Shot

Here you go, I found another shot I took where you can see the bottom portion a bit better with the Spica pens in the grass and the glaze on her shoes.

I hope you enjoyed my first card and I have my second card set to be posted on Monday the 20th as I will be at a Crop Retreat this weekend.  So everyone have a great weekend and I can't wait to see your comments!  Thanks!
