CHERI CHIC - DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY

This image is one that I drew last year and she remained in my sketch book until this week.  I have called her Cheri Chic and this will be my entry into the Colour Challenge at the Outlawz.

I have coloured the image using alcohol markers, and added some glitter glue and white gel pen highlights.

If you have a close look at the background, you'll notice that the shape of the diecut is visible in the background.  To acheive this I used wax paper that I laid on top of the white CS when I cut out the image.
The wax paper diecut was then crumpled up, straightened out, placed on glossy CS and ironed with a hot dry iron.  I used a blue stamp pad and brayered the blue ink over the glossy CS and the wax then resists most of the ink.  

Here is a close up of what it looks like :


I would like to add this card to the following challenges too:

  7. Fabulous technique, Jen, but I'm afraid you lost me when you pulled out the iron. (Tee, hee)

    Your image is stunning. How wonderful to be able to draw like that. You are one talented lady, Jen.

    Blessing hugs,
