Miss Mia

I got the urge to make a just for fun card last night, so I pulled out this sweet Jane's Doodles' image.  She's no longer available as a clear set, but she is available in digi form.

I colored her with a combination of Copics and Spectrum Noir markers.  I blend the two freely, and I will also admit that I am no coloring genius...I've picked up tips along the way, but much of what I do is experimentation.

I'm not all that pleased with the hair - I used a Copic blending trio on that but I really think it needs more accents, so next time I'll throw in some additional colors to make the highlights stand out some more.

I didn't have the right shade of cardstock for a mat, so I just cut a white mat and colored the edges with one of the Copics I used on her dress.

And, even though I made her just for fun, turns out it's Anything Goes week at Simon Says Stamp, so I'm linking her up there.

Thanks for stopping by, come back tomorrow, I have my first guest projects for Paper Smooches to share!
