Here's my inspiration for today...


Paper: Neena Desert Storm
Stamps: LDRS Creative Let Love Grow
Ink: LDRS Creative Raven, Coffee Bean;
Copics: skin-E00, E11, E13, RV42, E04, R20 hair-YR14, E37, E29, E49 shirt-BG11, BG13, BG05, BG09 flowers- YG97, YG99, YG93, RV13, RV14, RV12 necklace- C8, C5, C3, 100 feathers- C1, C3 eyes- C1, C3, BG93, BG96, YG93
Other: Prisma Colored Pencils: Mahogany Red, Warm Grey, Black, White, Sky Blue Light, Pale Sage, Pink Rose, Ginger Root, Tuscan Red, Perriwinkle


I love the look of Copics and colored pencils on kraft, but I've always been afraid to try it... So I decided to be brave and give it a go. 

I am LOVING the new Andrea Gomoll stamps! I decided to go with this SWEET girl from Let Love Grow set. Isn't she beautiful?!? And SO much fun to color!
I used Neenah Desert Storm paper because it works well with Copics.



I stamped my image LDRS Creative Coffee Bean ink using a second generation impression (stamped once on a scrap paper, then stamped on my project). This gives a faint line that you can see well enough to color, but disappears when you color so you have a beautiful no line look!


I started by coloring with my Copics as I normally would (though I went with slightly darker colors then normal because the paper is darker).


 After, I added in highlights and shadows using Prismacolor pencils... the added detail with the pencils make it come to life!!  The eyes looked flat until I added a little crescent of Ginger Root colored pencil to the under the pupils....  

What technique have you admired, but been too afraid to tackle? 

I challenge you to go for it! Try it! I'm glad I did!
