What is your favorite color?

I asked that question and his response was "I'd have to say purple and black". After hearing that I was on a mission.  LOL  Believe it or not, I remember designing this card in my mind instantly.  Everyone knows I have an obession with Copics markers. I have over 70 markers now!!   Check out my latest creation.  



Isn't she a hottie???  This by far pushed my creativity out of my little comfort zone. Skin tones aren't as easy as they look. Several reprints and do-overs later this is the end result, a birthday card.  My hard work paid off, because the smile on HIS face and that mischievous chuckle was {priceless}!

Detail/Close up

Copics used: C5, C7, E27, E29, E33, E35, E47, 100, 101, N1, V09

Smooch (Cherry Chocolate, Gold Lame & Siren) and Goldenrod Stickles

As you can see the black layer is embossed. (Gotta love my Sizzix Big Kick!) And if you look close, image layer is popped up using pop up dots. Did you know they make black ones??? < LOL I'm telling you, I have WAY more stuff in my stash than I'll ever use. But it's always fun pulling out new things.   Pattern Paper is American Crafters Boo!, and the rhinestones are Queen & Co.

*Note to self... take better pics prior to delivering the card to the recipient!  Even though it was yesterday,  Happy Birthday JLO! {Gotta give the shout out no matter what!}

Ahhh... and now I'll exhale....
Happy Creating!
