To get in more Copic coloring practice, I colored up The Greeting Farm’s Anya Lifts again, but this time with some different color combinations. I colored her up to be more pale than my usual coloring, but still with depth of skin color with E000, 00, 11 and 13, with R20 blush. 
To create a platinum blonde, I went with Y11, Y21, and E31.  For her heart barrette and top, I used RV21, 23, 25 and 29 and the pink ruffles under her top and bow are in RV10 and 21. I’m not a girly girl type of crafter, but this cutie just looked more girly so I went with the pinks.
Like in yesterday’s card, for her jean shorts I used B91, 93, 95 and 97, and her boots are E21, 23, 25 and 29 (after all, we don’t need to totally re-create the wheel, right?! LOL). Â Then I concentrated on creating an open, translucent look for the pink balloons with RV00, 10, and 52, with cast shadows in 93 and 95. Â I topped those balloons, her heart barrette and earrings with clear Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents for shimmer and shine.
Although I wanted to create a CAS look with enough white space, I wanted to keep this card a more normal size so I took it up to 4.5″ x 6″ to hopefully give enough negative space around the image to be clean.  I used one of the borders from the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Border Die 2 Set to cut down the side of the card front and added a bright poppy floral patterned paper from Pebbles “Sunny Side” paper stack as a little extra interest for the card.  I think the bright, bold colors take this card from just girly to girl power. 🙂
The happy birthday stamp is from the Tiddly Inks “Flying High” stamp set (this is retired now), and as a finishing touch I scattered seven of pink bling pieces. The following is a video share of both this card and the one I posted yesterday:

Wonderful coloring of the image and the lay-out is superb. We are so blessed you joined our Challenge weeks ago and would love for you to join our new Challenge still ongoing at Word Art Wednesday. Want to leave you with the inspiration of the Scripture in 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 which says, “But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”— these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. ” Have a lovely week.
