The Pixie Cottage Challenge #104 - Embossing

It's time for a new Once Upon a Wednesday challenge at The Pixie Cottage and we have a super sketch and the optional theme challenge of "Embossing". You can use a light box and stylus, embossing powders and a heatgun or embossing folders, the choice is yours :)

Card Recipe:
Image and Sentiment set - Girly Girl Buffy by Alisa Ramirez
Paper - French Country Stack by DCWV
Medium - Copic Markers
Butterfly - Michaels
Lace - Hobby Lobby
Embossing Folder - Script by The Paper Studio


This is the great sketch we started with.



I did something a little different with this card and used London Fog Memento Ink stamped on to a very light pink paper instead of the usual Tuxedo Black and white paper. It gives a very different look when colored, my daughter thought I'd colored the image with chalks and couldn't believe that Copic markers could look this soft. I thought it went well with colors pulled out from the patterned papers. And finally I airbrushed the white flowers with a soft pink to make then match perfectly.
I hope you like this and will come over and play with us at The Pixie Cottage this week.
