I colored everything from lightest to darkest, and then blended after that. I used crystal Stickles and painted over her hair, belt, buckles, armbands, hatband and shoes.. This left the color underneath, but a little sparkle in the light. Once I was done with that I cut her out and then added the white buttons and snaps with Enamel Accents white.
I used a Nestie to cut out the white and blue inner boxes. After playing for a LONG time with Impressabilities, I decided I like them as accent embellishments as opposed to embossing things with them. I did impress this butterfly in, but then I glued it in. I love how it looks. I then added the white Enamel Accent dots around the blue frame as well. The white in the back was embossed with a Cuttlebug Folder, and then the corners cut off with a quarter of a hole punch. I mounted this on blue cardstock, and applied the white dots on it as well. As a final touch I added larger pearls on the four corners.
Most of my cards are larger, but this one ended up being 4.25 x 5.5, which is unusual for me! I was really excited.
Have a great night, and I will see y'all later.

ReplyDeleteHi Alaine,
ReplyDeleteYour card is wonderful - as always! I took the plunge and made my first card for entry into Kenny K's Krafty Girlz Challenge #28. Although I looked at the other entries and they are so far superior and wonderful!! But, I love his digis and it's fun to color and I'll probably keep up with the challenge. Anyway, I learn from looking! Love your cards!
Alaine, this is jaw dropping gorgeous! So many wonderful things about this card, but aside from your wonderful coloring, I think my favorite is the white accents. They add so much punch! Fabulous! Hugz, Cheryl
