WSC110: Wreath Angel

It's Weekend Sketch Challenge time again and Lori is hosting this week.  You can find the challenge at her blog and enter a link to your creation there.  My 7-year old dictated today's stamp selection.  She was playing with some of my stamps yesterday and left this one out on my desk ... fortunately, it fit right in with the idea I had for this sketch!

This is Karen Lockhart's lovely Wreath Angel.  I stamped her with Versamark and heat embossed her with gold detail powder.  I had heard Copic markers and embossed images didn't play too well together but I wanted to try it for myself.  I'm happy to report that I had no problems whatsoever between my Copic markers and the gold embossed lines!  (Maybe the issue is with darker embossing powders?) 

I was careful to not go over any of the embossed lines too much and kept most of my colors pretty light.  I think I'll be exploring this technique a little more and share my results with you all.

I used these Copic markers and Buttermilk Spica glitter pen on Angel's hair:

 
I think the rest of the card is pretty self explanatory and I seem to be having keyboard problems, so I'll leave it at that ... if you have any questions, just ask and I'll be happy to answer them!!  Be sure to visit these stampers blogs to see some more samples of the sketch:  Cambria, Charmaine, Jenn and Lori.  We hope you'll play along this weekend, too!

Such an adorable card and as always fabulous colouring. I love to use my copics for colouring and Versafine ink so I always have to emboss my images; thankfully I haven`t encountered any problems.
