Triple Challenge Card

I wanted to share the card that I did for three challenges today. I used this digital freebie image from Inger Harding. I love her images.

Here is my card,



The three challenges were,

1) Copic Creations Challenge - Coloring Black with Copics. I used C5, C7 and T6 for coloring the hair black in this image. As per the tutorial you can see on Copic Creations site, the colors that Suzanne Dean uses are C5, C7 and C9. I did not have C9, so I had to substitute.

2) Copic Color Challenge - Challenge #36 was to use the Colors V17(Amethyst), YR68(Orange), G99(Olive).



3) Just Us Girls Challenge - To add a 3D flower to your project. They have a fantastic tutorial also. But I did not have the Blossoms nestabilities. So, instead I used the five petal flower punch from Paper Wishes and created my own 3d flower. Basically I punched out three flowers, edged with ink, then folded two of them and then curled the third one using a tooth pick and then put them all together with a jewelled brad.

Supplies:
Stamp - Digital Freebie Image from Inger Harding, PTI Simple Things Anniversary Set
Paper - 120 LB Pure Luxury CS from Gina K, SU DP, SU Orange CS, PTI Rustic Cream CS, Bazzill Yellow CS
Ink - Memento Black, Copics, PTI Avocado Ink, Brown chalk ink
Other - Jewelled Brad, Paper Wishes 5 Petal Flower Punch, SU Word Window Punch

Copic Color Challenge #34

I had not played the previous Copic Color Challenge as I was kind of looking for some new images to color. Then I found quite a few Digi Stamps out there and fell in love with them.

The Copic Color challenge #34 - this time was to use the colors YG95 - Pale Olive, R39 - Garnet and C4 - Cool Gray No.4. I did not have YG95 - so instead I used YG93 and YG97. There are still certain aspects of the coloring on this image that could be improved, but I am quite happy how it turned out. This was quite new for me to color such a complex image.

Here is my card,



This Digi stamp is from Inger Harding. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. It is a freebie that she is offering called - Waiting for Santa to Come. I colored the Girl's dress with C4 and her coat with R39. I used the YG93 and YG97 for the door. I have decorated the inside of the card with the same DP and added a sentiment. Forgot to take a picture of it.

Here is the color chart,
