This is one of three cards we made. Hollyhock Bittybloom was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured with copics and then we used pencils with gamsol. I can totally see now that using copics and then a little extra shading with the pencils really finishes the shading. By no means is my card anything like Lindas :) but I'm very happy with mine. Linda was a great teacher and I learned where to shade darker and lighter and the all important shading around the image with a very light blue. I was a bit heavy handed with the blue and so decided to cut out my image and mount it again. I'm kind of glad I did this because then I thought I could pop up the balloon and then I thought I could put some crystal effects on it and then I thought I could put some glitter on her little dress flowers and then I thought STOP! :)
So, thanks again Lindabella for a wonderful class and if you do another, I'll be there!
Cheerio.....Leslie

Oh Leslie this is one of my favourites images and you have done such a cute job on her. You are so right about the weather been cold today, I wish I had some Uggs :o)
Stay warm my friend !!!
I would love to sit and create with you...following the antics of your creations are so amusing! Glitter, crystal effects, cut out, pop up are all great ideas - I'm still trying to find your glitter or is that when you thought stop? Adorable card, and great shading. A little instruction and practice are all it takes. You're on your way!
