A $20 Gift Certificate to spend at Tiddly Inks thanks to Christy!!

I selected a wonderful image from Tiddly Inks  for my CMC DT card called "You and Me Baby"

Technique:

• Copic Markers   (My consuming addiction!)    LOL

• Folds:  The image did not have folds that jumped out at you so I enhanced them using the technique for coloring folds in Suzann
  

Personal Challenge:    I want to experiment with shading and definition and  make my "black" more interesting.  Marianne Walker has a book called Shadows & Shading   that can be found HERE    In her book, Marianne states that very little in this world is truly black.   You may notice that I deviated from just using my "C" Copic markers and  I added some blue to the coat of our cute little man !!!  It was fun and I think I will try to do this more and more often!

Tip of the Day: Using your colorless blender will allow the folds to appear to have more dimension.  It will also bridge colors you may be lacking in your color palate by bridging two color buddies that are more than 2 or 3 shades  different in brightness (that is the last number on your Copic Marker).

You know I am always a little "excessive" so keeping true to form, I created a second card featuring folds.
