Charlotte has returned proudly wielding her poor tortured baby dolls. I get a kick out of this image by Annie Rodrigue for Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps every time I start to color her. She is my favorite (so far) from the Moonlight Whispers line. Today I tried to go a bit monochromatic on the background papers, only adding pops of color with Charlotte and the red gemstones. I found some black spider brads that I had purchased last year and decided to add a red gem to give one a Black Widow feel. You know what my favorite part of this image is? It's Charlotte's hair. Look at all those crazy corkscrew curls! Aren't they fun! Today I made her a brunette. I'm still learning how to color blonde and redhead colors for hair using the Copics, but I am really digging the brunette. I used E49 (dark bark), E37 (sepia), and E31 (brick beige). I like this combo so much that everyone might just be a brunette going forward...!
That's it for today. Hope your week kicks off with good things hiding around every corner!
Great card! Really like that stamp and love the spider in the flower. I might borrow that last one :-)
ReplyDeleteSeriously cute card! I love that image (she's on my want list!) and your coloring is fabulous... the hair alone is awesome :)
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! Awesome coloring. I can't get over what a fabulous job you did on her hair. I love the details on your card too. Everything works together so well.

Oh my freaking gosh! That image is a hoot! She's adorable, but the cuteness is cut by a slight creepiness. Love it.
