In honor of Stamptember, I wanted to simply stamp and image and have fun coloring. So I made this CAS card that is almost a 1 layer card (I had to pop up the image — I just couldn’t help myself!). I was so excited to finally get the Penny Black “A Wizard” Stamp because I and so many of my friends and family are Harry Potter fans.
I experimented with some new color combinations, and just had fun coloring (it was so therapeutic). These are the colors I used:
Skin: E50, E51 and E53 with R30 for blush
Hair: E55, E57, and E59
Glasses: C5 and C8 for frame and B000 for glass with Uniball Signo White Gel Pen for reflection lines
Burgundy blanket and pillow stripes: R81, R83, R85 and R89
Book in hand: R81, R83, R85, R89, Y35 and Y38
Red-Brown of book on bed and wand: R81, R83, R85, R89, E23, E25 and E29
Nightstand and top book on bed: E84, E87 and E89
Book pages: C1 and E51 with 0.3 pt Copic Multi-liner in Warm Gray
Pajamas: Dark Blue: B24 and B29; Light Blue: B000 and B21 with Uniball Signo White Gel Pen for white pin stripes
White sheets: C000, C0, C1, C2 and C3
Stars on blanket: Y13 and Y19
Wall: B000 and B41
Lamp: B21, B24 and B29
Lamp bulb and light: Y00, Y11, Y15 and Y19
For the birthday sentiment, “Happy Birthday to My Favorite Muggle!” I downloaded a free Harry Potter font and printed it out on a bit of cardstock. Then I cut down the colored image and the printed sentiment layer so that it would fit nicely on a standard A2 size card. As I mentioned, I popped up the entire image on a piece of fun foam just to give a little dimension to the card.

As always Kristina,
I am amazed with your coloring.
Love the intensity of your colors, the so much fun Harry Potter font, and the perfect image.
Hopefully will turn out to be more than a mere muggle.
Yes, he’s really more of a wizard than a muggle (as he has captured my heart). I probably mis-spoke/wrote. LOL
Your coloring is amazing! I love this cutie!
Thank you so much Victoria!
