This month I am a guest DT member for StampInsanity, so I get to strut my stuff with the Groovy Gurlz. Today is also the Debut of Mystic Beauties. Don't these gurlz look fun.
Challenge #8 is to make an easel card. I decided to use Pearl Princess for my first project, boy was she fun to color. I printed her out on Georgia Pacific card stock and I'm actually surprised I was able to color her so well. I've tried a few images before on GP and they ended up a complete mess. I think I'm finally getting the hang of using my Copics on GP card stock. I can't believe I even manage to color the background black. Sure if you look closely you'll see where the black bled out a bit, but all in all I think she looks pretty cool. Well I may have gone a bit overboard embellishing this card, but I love the end result.
So Beth made me this cool watermark (see it on card above). I love it but I don't have any fancy software to put watermarks on my pics. After putting the watermark on my card the colors got washed out a bit so I decided to leave the rest of my pics without the watermark, sorry Beth :(. I think this way you can see the crystal effects on the black pearl a little bit better as well a better take on the colors. I used the sketch from .
Sentiment is from Otherworldly Loves stamp set also by StampInsanity. I stamped it in SU Going Gray, it matched perfectly to the Prima roses and gray beads.
Please be sure to join in the fun and play along with this weeks challenge. Head on over to StampInsanity to see the debut of Mystic Beauties. To see what the rest of the DT created click on links below.
