I just love this little The Greeting Farm Cheshire Bean image stamp, but boy was I intimidated to tackle coloring her up with Copic markers! Her hair had so many waves in it! I have colored her up before, but that was with a much more forgiving water coloring technique using Distress Markers (click HERE<\/a> for the post on that card).<\/p>\n

<\/a>But this time I thought I just need to take my time and color up each segment of her hair thinking about the light source and where it would hit all those beautiful curls. \ud83d\ude42 I really like how her hair coloring turned out and now I feel like I can tackle any coloring project! LOL<\/p>\n

I used the following Copic colors:
\nHair and outside of fox ears: E97, 99 and 29
\nSkin: E50, 51, 53 and R11
\nInside of fox ears: R30 and 11
\nDress, shoes and hair ties: G43, 46 and 29 with W1 shading for ruffle collar<\/p>\n

To frame the image, which I fussy cut and glued onto a small polka dot print paper, I used a scrap of vellum that I ran through a Darice paw print\u00a0embossing folder. \u00a0For all the other patterned papers I used the Pebbles “Sunny Side” collection. The “smile” die cut is from a Little Yellow Bicycle “Love Laugh Smile” word die set. \u00a0I layered that on a hand cut banner and then accented both ends of the banner with two small green buttons that I threaded with green and white bakers twine.<\/p>\n
