This week at Pile It On, we want to see "Thinking of You" cards/projects. I used All Wrapped Up by our sponsor, All Dressed Up Stamps:
I colored the image with Copics, fussy-cutting the girl to give it just a hint of dimension. I used the Blender Texture technique for the background, and cut it with a Spellbinders die in my BigShot.
I colored the hair last, because I couldn't decide on the color...so I asked my husband, because he always poses me with an agreeable challenge. He suggested "Light blonde...with blue streaks. A strong blue." I just love the result.
I found two stitching-and-flowers-themed papers in my stash, and edged them on my sewing machine. The yellow mesh is recycled potato packaging. The sentiment is a Starform outline sticker, colored with the same blue Copic I used for the hair.
The leaves are cut from scrap Aida (cross stitch) fabric with a Sizzix die. I cut it along with a piece of scrap cardstock for support. I then coated the pieces with Tacky white glue so that they didn't fall apart. I colored two of the leaves with a green Copic. I finished the card with a shell button, a white plastic button, and some twine.
