I have not one, but three cards to reveal.  I didn't realize how much I would LOVE this image!

I was surprised at how well this basic die shape would suite this image.  I think tilting the image makes an enormous difference too (I have to confess I cut the back panel where you write a message before figuring out where the front image would rest).  I was just clearly lucky. 

 

I took a Copic marker (BV000) and colored the pale bluish panel right behind the image on top of the purple cardstock.

This image is so very cute and I could have made the mushroom darker or a different color, but I was in the mood for light and airy, if a mushroom can be airy. I used a marker for the grass, but Distress Oxide for the sky.  Yes, it was a bit hairy sponging the sky in by the mushroom, but I think it came out fairly well.  I drew in some more grass and used only one color Copic marker which I applied lightly in some places creating spots of light and dark on the lawn.

Such a beautiful image to color and I started out using white copic paper, however, after finishing coloring the image, I put one finger down on the paper and left 3 unmistakable dots on the white paper.  After thinking about what to do, I decided to fussy cut her out.  The only problem I had was where the mask continued out to the feather, so that part is missing, yes, completely missing, but if you didn't know it, I think this worked out quite well.  I used some Nuvo drops on the fan, mask and background, so there's a bit of glitter.  I thought the sentiment was quite appropriate to the image.

Julia Spiri The Secrets of Venice

Poppy Stamps Winter Porch Pop Up Easel set dies

Sometimes I die-cut things and then don't use them so I store them with the dies just in case I might use them on another project.  That was the case with the Navy Striped Designer paper.  I also had some die-cuts just thrown into a drawer and that's where the frame came from.  I'm sure you can find some images to suit your style when you visit Julia Spiri's Etsy store.

Supplies:

Julia Spiri digital Cozy Home

Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles

Little B - Handwritten - die sent

Photo Frame - found in my stash - not sure if die-cut or from Cameo machine

Copic markers

I needed a birthday card and this is perfect for counting sheep and not birthdays, right? In Word, I added the text box with the note "Count Sheep, Not Birthdays".  In retrospect, I should have used a different font.  The matting panel is colored with the darkest Copic color on the sheep.

I love that little girl and whatever colors you might choose to color her in would be perfect because she just seems to perky and adorable.  I decided to go with mostly light colors on the scene except for that cut little girl.  I hope I've given you some inspiration and hope you are as charmed by the image as I was and am.

By the way, I embossed the blue panel and found out I had embossed it on the wrong side, however, I thought it made for a unique design.  I wish I knew what company made this folder, but I wasn't keeping track of folders at the time I purchased this.  I do like the unusual texture though.  The snowflakes are an off-white and navy blue.

Supplies:

Julia Spiri Sledding is Fun

Spellbinders die cuts for both the card base & raised panel

Snowflakes & stars from a bag of goodies sent by a friend

Embossing folder - not sure as packaging is gone & no name on folder
