My Forest Elf

I love the variety of images that Tracey carries at Spesch Designer Stamps and have thoroughly enjoyed my time on their DT.  With great sadness I write my last post as a member of their design team, but it won't be my last post with the fabulous images!  In fact I am looking forward to expanding my collection of Spesch clear stamps - and if you live in Canada or North America, then check out Paper Jewels for Spesch's fabulous images in clear.  For digital enthusiasts or those living outside of North America, check out the selection Tracey carries at Spesch Designer Stamps.

Recently I have been finding myself admiring card creators using copics who are producing coloured images with drastic shading effects.  I had to try this out myself by using Lyra and Koh-I-Noor coloured pencils over top of the copic markers.  I am happy with the results on My Forest Elf:

I followed the sketch at Cute Card Thursday, distressed the edges, and used foam squares to add dimension to the card.

Her dress and centers of the flowers have been glittered with Stampin' Up! dazzling diamonds.

Copics used:

Flowers BV0000/BV11/BV13

Leaves YG03/YG17

Dress BG0000/BG000/BG10/BG72 (tip to tip BG72/BG10) (shadows added w/pencils)

Face E000/E00 (additional face shadows and cheeks added with pencils)

Hair E30/E31/E33/E35/E37 (also touched up with pencils)

Thank you for looking!  Check out the new Spesch Design Team here and the fabulous DT creations here!
