Gorguss Girl

This is another one of the use what you buy or what you already have in your stash cards. I picked up the Gorguss girl stamp in an online order a while back and the paper is also from a Gorguss girls paper pack that I have had since last year. I figured if I was going to colour the image up I might as well use the paper I already had, lol. I really need to start using what I have, I am great at purging my craft room and keeping only what I love but then I need to use what I have kept.
I used Copics to colour the image as I wanted to practice getting more of a softer shaded look with them. The jacket turned out well but I was not too pleased with her hat and I kept fussing with it so in real life it looks a lot brighter than I wanted. Next time I think I will use my pencil crayons to get the softer look that I wanted.
The card was sort of following a sketch that I found on Pinterest, love the site. I liked the look of the papers laid on top of each other but once I assembled it I wasn't as pleased with it. I think maybe it needs some ribbon or perhaps flowers instead of just bling and paper. But overall I am pleased with how the papers and image work together to get the look I was thinking of.
