Hello again! I have a card to share with you today, and I am really happy with how it turned out. I started off with Speak No Evil from the Stamping Chef.
I haven’t gotten to color too many images for this 31 Days so far, so I was really happy to get this one all done up. I colored her mostly with watercolor markers, but did use a few alcohol markers, and Antique Linen Distress Ink Reinker for her face. Originally, I had her face whte with a bit of gray to give shadows. But after picking my papers and such, the white was way too stark. I applied the ink with a brush after diluting it with a bit of water.
Her hair was a great to color. I love how it was drawn. The little “cards” on the side was another part of my winnings from the last 31 Days. They are from a Graphics 45 pad that was in my parcel. I thought they were perfect with her.
I’m going to enter my card into The Stamping Chef’s current challenge which is Anything Goes. Now I bid you adieu…please be sure to check out the rest of the Wicked Bloggers, all listed in my sidebar. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a creep-tastic day!
Fantastic! The G45 bits look great with her! Thanks for the info on painting her face too – the colour is great! Mo x
wonderful card, you've colored her beautifully and I love the little books you've added.
I love your fine Day of the Dead lady! She is wonderful. Her blue hair is stunning! The tags balance and are so perfect!

You have chosen the perfect cards and bits to add to her image.
Her skintone is marvelous.
I agree, even a dull white would not have had the same impact.
A more yellowed linen works beautifully.
what can I say – LOVE her hair!
