I managed to get a card finished. I’ve had quite a bit of not nice stress going on this past few months, most of it has been sorted and now I can move on I think I have my mojo back. I actually had such fun making this card, that’s not happened in a long time.
So, although it;s a Christmas card, this stamp Wee Angelica by Whimsy has been sitting on my desk feeling very unloved for a while, poor little thing lol.
The copics and pencils used are
Hair E29, 25, 23, 50; Skin E11, 00, 000, 0000, R30; Squirrel & Bird E23, 33, 31, 30, 40, R14, 12; Wing W3, 1, 0, 00; Aqua BG78, 75, 72, 70; Beige E42, 41, 40; Brown E44, 43, 42
Pencils Muted turquoise, Dark umber, Helio turquoise, Burnt Sienna
The paper is Bildmalarna Sweet Tones from Dies to Die For – not Christmas but hey, it works for me
The flowers – cottage roses, 20mm roses, 15mm roses and lace are from Wild Orchid Crafts, as are the pearls.
