SSS34 Sing Noel!

Oh my word, I am sooooooooooo cold as I sit here preparing this post for this week's Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge! My fingers are numb and my feet...well, I can't feel them....brrrrrrrrrrr, the wind is blowing like crazy outside, making it feel so much colder! OK....so, I've had ENOUGH of Old Man WINTER, seriously, he needs to move on outta' here!

My Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge SSS34 card uses a digital image from KLM Designs, titled 'Singing Angel'. She is cute as can be, isn't she! It only took me about 8-10 tries at coloring the image before I was somewhat satisfied...just let me say, coloring with Reds is not always so much fun, at least not for me. I don't know what it is, but the Copic Red inks almost always seem to 'bleed' outside my lines...I don't have that problem as much with the other colors, but it almost always happens with the red shades...and forget trying to 'clean up' the edges with the Colorless blender....the red seems to bleed even more, grrrrrrrrrr. Oh well, at least this one is fairly decent and the task is complete.

I stamped the image onto white, colored it using my shades of red...added some gold spica glitter pen to the choir robe collar and also to the stars....Ended with some gold glitter to the angel wings. But, I decided it would be even better if I colored another image and popped it up off of the main image....so here we go with another round of battles with the Copic Red Markers. Once completed, I liked the idea, so I'm glad I took the time to march back into the war zone and win the battle once again....well...this time, anyway!
