Another Rachelle Anne

Morning stampers! It's a beautiful sunny Thursday morning here in Hawaii! I hope it's nice where ever you are in the world.

Today I have a square spring card to share with you. This is Tuesday's "Try A New Technique" challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. How fun is this card!? Sandy Hulsart has a wonderful and easy to follow tutorial here... Download square_spring_card_tutorial1.doc

I used another stamp that I got from Jen's store, Little C's. I'm going crazy in her store! I just put in another order for more Rachel Ann Miller's, which is becoming one of my favorite stamp companies, and the new releases at Pink Cat Studio: Accessories for Lily and Billy & Limitless Limbs.

Copics Used...

As you can see I used my Prisma Colored Pencils to add fine texture to her hair and some shadows on her dress. Don't be afraid to mix mediums. Colored pencils are a perfect marriage with Copics or any kind of pen for that matter. Pencils give you the ability to add fine, fine detail where you otherwise might not be able to, unless you are an expert or have access to a wide variety of pens with different tip sizes. Stamps tend to be on a smaller scale, so the areas that you need to color are often very tiny. Pencil tips can easily get into these small spaces, especially for those of you who are just beginning to experiment with coloring images.

Have a great day and see you for Aloha Friday tomorrow. (It may be posted in the evening on Friday night. My nephew (Chubby-Wubby) is here from California and we're having his ONE year birthday party on Saturday. We'll be making some favors for his party, so that will be my priority in the next couple days.) And remember to check back tomorrow for the Jai-Nor-Mous giveaway winner!)
