TESTING A TECHNIQUE

I need to get some of my Copics skills brushed up, and also develop some new ones for workshops that I would like to present to crafters.

This is colouring on textured board, and although I am not entirely happy with the results, I do like where this is going:


I thought that it would be a good idea to practice on some projects that can actually be used afterwards, so I used this image from Mo Manning called "A Big Whoop!"

Here is a closer look:

To make my card I used:

image printed on textured paper
Copics for colouring
white gel pen
corner punch
serrated circle punch
stick on sentiment
royal blue CS for card base

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

CARD MANIA, #21, SPOTS AND/OR STRIPES (my stripes are in her sweater and my spots are in her socks)
