Nicecrane Designs: Sweet Little Angels


Happy Monday!  I hope your week is starting well!   I am back from Hawaii and had a wonderful time taking my Certification (Standard and Intermediate) classes.  My instructor was the wonderful graphic artist, Marianne Walker.  I learned so many new and wonderful things about Copic markers.   I can hardly wait to try them out! 

Speaking of fabulous graphic artists.....   I created this card with a digital stamp designed by Ignacio Molina, a wonderful graphic artist from Spain.  You may have heard of his site - Nicecrane Designs  If you haven't had the opportunity, you should give it a try.  there are many wonderful images that can be used with your alcohol ink markers.    For those who choose to not color with Copic or other markers, Ignacio offers digital images that are fully colored and shaded for your card or craft projects.  They are gorgeous!   

                                                 
I created my Design Team card with this wonderful digital image  from the collection "Adorable Little Angels"   I used my tree embossing folder and Cuttlebug (Provo Crafts" to provide texture to the background.  I colored my image with Copics B0000, B00, B02, C00, C1, C3.  I added texture to the darkest shadow areas of the wings by coloring with a AtYou Spica Silver glitter pen (.too, Inc)  I added G38, YG63 and G40 to the green garland.  


Thank you for stopping by and spending some time.  I Hope you check out   Nicecrane Designs and see what all the excitement is about!    I will be posting my Color Me Creative Design Team card Wednesday so stop back soon!

Happy Holidays from my home to yours!
Hugs,
Marie

  3. Marie,
    Can you tell yourself, just by looking back on your coloring, how much more complex and in depth your talent has come? You were beyond amazing before but I thought, "huh, that's weird, she posted a photo print this time." NOPE..you colored it and it looks like a true photograph. That is just amazing. I could look at her little outfit for hours. As a matter of fact, I think I just might do that now....
    WOW, I'm so proud of you. You work is truly phenomenal!
    Hugs,

    Is there a means you can remove me from that service? Cheers!
