Tip of the Day: Emboss your focal image layer after you cut it with the die. This will add dimension to the image. Flip it over, place some tape on the back to secure it to the die and then gently sponge the edges with your dauber. This will increase your dimensional look even more!
I am also totally in love with Sugar Nellie images! I found this wonderful digital image from Funky Kits. I may make another card and enter in a few days. If you would like to enter the Sugar Bowl Challenge.... it can be found HERE.

Marie, your cards take my breath away. I love everything you do. Your cards including this one are all so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI can't get over the shine in his hair. You are amazing with those copics. This reminds me of my son and his first teddy bear. What a truly wonderful card, Marie. :)
ReplyDeleteMarie ~ Beautiful work; love the shading you did for his face and neck! It's really looking like a painting, fabulous!
ReplyDeleteOh Marie! Your use of a vintage floral pattern distressed with vintage photo and black distress inks make a wonderfully shabby background for this great Nathan image. Another incredible card! So glad to see your entry at Copic Creations. Hugs! ~ Rose
ReplyDeleteThis piece is absolutely riveting! Through your superb coloring, you captured the innocence of the young boy. Breathtaking work!
ReplyDeleteMarie, this is absolutely stunning; the colors, composition, everything. I just watched Suzanne's Video #14 in Classroom 3, and this is right up there with her best work! Thanks for sharing it with us. BTW, I'm on my way over to buy this digital, and I hope you don't mind if I CASE it. If you do, let me know, and I'll at least change the colors, LOL.
