I had this adorable C. C. Designs image of two cute girls holding hands, called “Swiss Pixie Sisters,” and I wanted to color them up and make a cutsie\/Primative style card with them for an ill friend of mine who is collecting hand made cards for her mom to use. \u00a0Amazingly sweet and generous right?<\/p>\n

<\/a>I used the following Copic colors for the girls and fussy cut them out (the trickiest parts were around the tiny curls around the brown haired girl’s hair LOL):<\/p>\n

Skin: E51, 53, 11, 13, and R20
\nBlack hair and boots\u00a0(with white gelly roll pen highlights added to boots): C1, C4, C7, C9, B21
\nBlue-green skirt: BG10, 11, and 13
\nLight green top and skirt ruffle (with white gelly roll pen polka dots): YG01, 03, 25<\/p>\n

Brown hair and boots (with white gelly roll pen highlights added to boots): E55, 57, 59 and Y11
\nPurple dress, pony tail ball ties (with white gelly roll pen highlights added to boots), and tights: V000, 12, 15, 17, 09<\/p>\n

<\/a>For the background, I picked out some black and white and pale green polka dot patterned papers from my scrap box and made a kind of quilt following a great MFT Sketch (link below). For the lavender pieces, I colored up white card stock with V12 and then hand cut the double fishtail banner and die cut the circles (except the smallest one which I cut using a hole punch).<\/p>\n

To add to the Primative feel, I hand doodled dot and dash lines on the lavender pieces and I doodled double dot dashes around the edge of the card front. What fun! I used more scraps from my scrap box for the inside liner. Because I didn’t have a sympathy sentiment stamp, I hand wrote the following sentiment: “May the comfort of friends and family help bring you peace.”<\/p>\n

The following is video sharing this and the last three cards I made:<\/p>\n
