I found that, with my three yellow markers, my blonde hair didn't look right. But with some help from Elaine and Mary J, I've worked out which E markers to use and I think it looks really good - even if I say so myself!!!
The Lazy Summer Tilda image from Magnolia, (which I managed to borrow from Alex during a playday at Julie's) was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black archival pigment ink and coloured using Copic sketch markers:
- Skin: E00, E21, E51, R20
- Hair: E40, E41, E43, E51, E57
- Wings: BV00, BV23, B41
- Jumper: G12, G14, YG11
- Pinafore: BV00, BV04, BV31
The image was die cut using a classic oval Nestabilities die and matted onto a green oval and lilac scalloped oval, also die cut using Nestabilities.
A strip of the lilac cherry blossom paper from the Dovecraft Aquamarine Kate Knight paper pack was matted onto green and lilac card. A panel of the green and lilac leaves paper, from the same paper pack, was punched using the Doilly Lace border punch by Martha Stewart, and then matted onto a punched panel of the green card and the lilac card.
The sentiment, from the Papermania Clare Curd Sentiments stamp set was stamped onto a Cuttlebug Oval Stamp die using the Onyx Black ink and matted onto a lilac die cut. I think if I were to make this again, I'd use either a grey or lilac ink for the sentiment - the black looks a little bit too harsh.
The Tilda image was then highlighted with Craft Planet Iridescent Sparkle glitter glue and a Papermania Snow White gel pen.
