Valerie

I received my first order of Xpress-it Copic Blending Paper the other day, so I decided to take it for a test drive.  Coincidentally, Mo's Digital Pencil are having a sale at the moment, so I decided that I was destined to buy some more digi stamps :)

I used this week's sketch from Retro Sketches and the colours from ColourQ for my card.  

I have to admit that when I first saw the colors at ColourQ, I thought "no way!".  But then when I chose Valerie to color, I saw the possibility of using all the challenge colors and gave it a go.

I'm not 100% happy with my layout.  I think there's something missing, but I was so focussed in my mind on making a card that matched the definitions at The Card Concept, that I sort of missed the boat a bit.  (This card is not for The Card Concept challenge, I was just testing myself.  I'm hoping to make a card for that challenge over the weekend.)

I colored Valerie in the challenge colors then used nesties to cut her out.  I decided to stick with Basic Gray and Poppy Parade for my main card colors and used the Needlepoint Border EF down either side of the gray panel.

Thanks for looking.
