I've had the opportunity over the weekend and today to have a good play. I started off with Summer Dreams which seemed to be a lower impact stamp for a rank Copic colouring beginner like myself and I have to say, I was quite happy with my end result but I killed my first image during my card making procedures (don't ask) and had to start again.
I was not as happy with this effort as I seemed to have more trouble blending my mauves and browns too. I ended up with both patchy results in some places and sticky shiny excess in others. Still I wasn't going to do her over again again!
After my Elf Queen card I wanted to make this card a sweet and simple one to match the sweetness of the Summer Dreams image. I went for purples and white.
And yes! I actually stopped myself using either any Memory Box or Marianne Dies this time. What a shock hey?!
I did have some Perfect Pearlized Kaiser Flowers left over from the Elf Queen card and they were just the ticket to add that little something without going nuts about it!
