To get in more Copic coloring practice, I colored up\u00a0The Greeting Farm’s Anya Lifts <\/a>again, but this time with some different color combinations.\u00a0I 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. <\/a>To create a platinum\u00a0blonde, I went with Y11, Y21, and E31. \u00a0For 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.<\/p>\n

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). \u00a0Then I concentrated on creating an open, translucent look for the pink balloons with RV00, 10, and 52, with cast shadows in 93 and 95. \u00a0I topped those balloons, her heart barrette and earrings with clear Wink of Stella and Glossy Accents for shimmer and shine.<\/p>\n

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″\u00a0to hopefully give enough negative\u00a0space around the image to be clean. \u00a0I used one of the borders from the\u00a0Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Border Die 2 Set<\/a> to cut down the side of the card front and added a\u00a0bright poppy floral\u00a0patterned paper from Pebbles “Sunny Side”\u00a0paper stack as a little extra interest for the card. \u00a0I think the bright,\u00a0bold\u00a0colors take this card from just girly to girl power. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

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\u00a0of pink\u00a0bling pieces. The following is a video share of both this card and the one I posted yesterday:<\/p>\n
