Today I'm sharing a card with you for the 7 Kids Challenge Blog--the challenge is to create a SQUARE CARD! Easy peasy for me, lol! This fabulous image is from La La Land called "Marci Ballerina" and she's the same image I did on all 4 of my NEW Copic Coloring Videos (click on my Tutorials/Templates tab under my blog banner up top and then scroll down to see NEW 2011 videos). I adore these stamps, not only cute but so much fun to color!
Isn't "Marci" just a doll? I love her and I love her in these pretty blues too! The papers are older DCWV from an old paper pack I have with no name on it, LOL (sorry). I created a ruffled trim by putting Scor-Tape on the back of my paper and then ruffling the ribbon by hand and attaching it to the tape--I love how easy this is to do. The border was made with a MS border punch and I used a CB embossing folder to emboss that center panel. A pretty bow topped with some Prima flowers were added and the small sentiment is part of a PTI set. That top element is a NEW Marianne Designs die that I added Stickles to for sparkle and some rhinestones for bling--kind of like a ballerina tiara I think!
This cutie was colored with copics of course (you can watch the videos--see link above) and I used B06,B02,B00/E25,E31,E50/E11,E00/C1,C00,B0000,E50. I added stardust stickles to her flowers and ruffle on her tutu. Diamond Glaze makes her ballet shoes and eyes extra shiny!
Now make sure to hop on over to the 7 Kids Challenge Blog and see the rest of the fabulous DT projects and join in to WIN BIG ;)!!

Stunning card! Oh, the dizzy spells are your own personal merry go round or at least that is what I tell my self when the headaches hits. I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteSo so sorry about your migraine, I suffer from them as well, I get the white lights and throwing up, and everything else that goes with them. I need to get into a Dark room since the light hurts my eyes and sometime the meds don't work... But I must commend you on this masterpiece that you managed to get out while in so much pain... Feel better

What a cute card! The way she is colored is beautifull. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Suzanne, I love all the blues you used on that adorable image.
ReplyDeleteI would guess that you could work magic with your Copics and any image, while under the influence of Fiorinal ... in a dark room ... curled up in a ball ... fighting a migraine! Your talent is endless, Suzanne.
ReplyDeleteThat little ballerina was brought to life in your videos, which are an absolute must for anyone interested in learning how to succeed with their Copics.
Hope you feel better and rid yourself of that demon migraine.
Hope you are feeling better, Suz. I love the blues and your ballerina is delightful! I love what you've done! It's another card to drool over!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Chris Christensen

ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!! Thank you for posting the new tutorials on YouTube as well. I've been practicing and your newer tips really made a lot of sense to me. I still need to work on my blending and I'm sure I'll be watching your newer ones over and over (and over!!!)
