I am lucky enough to get to participate in all 3 days of hopping! Which I am super stoked about. This collaboration has been so much fun! For today’s project, I made a card using SBS’ Christian the Dark Hero and MIC’s Hollywood City Corner.
Isn’t Christian fabulous?! I started off by coloring him in. Then, I took a deeeeeep breath…ok, maybe a few deep breaths…and added the yellow spotlight. No matter how many times I do something like this, it is so nerve wracking to color OVER something that you’ve worked so hard on! But it was (as always) totally worth it in the end. 
I used watercolor markers and Copics for this card, as per usual. After I finished Christian and the dreaded spotlight, I worked on the background. I used the few grays that I have. I toyed with the idea of throwing some black in the mix, but I decided against it. It looks better in person, there’s even a slight hint of blue in the windows, but it’s tough to see here. 
I used my Just Rite letter stamper to make up my repeating sentiment of “Hero.” And my batty button was just “hanging” around. 😉 So what do you think of these past two days? Are you totally loving them? I know I am! I am the final stop on today’s hop, but if you’ve missed anyone, please be sure to go back and leave them some love. Below is the completer list for today. Beware! It’s a different list form yesterday! And tomorrow, will be the third and final day of this rad collaboration. Thank you for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!!!

  16. That spotlight on batman is the cats meow. Just wow for this entire card. The gray background buildings the spotlite batman is perfect.

    Reminds of something I saw once. Always be yourself unless you can be batman, ALWAYS be batman.

  30. Ali- You have outdone yourself! These are amazing. I really love the images but you are doing too good of a job because I feel like if I bought them I would never have them look that good! HAHAHA! Great work!
