Four Challenges!

Hello crafty friends!

Abby here, with another card for you.

This is my card for:

CMC- Anything goes with a girly twist
Crazy 4 Challenges- Stitches
Kraftin' Kimmie - Stitches
MarkerPop - color in black and white/sepia

Funny story, I had my focal image all colored up and was very pleased with it.  I was going to enter it in Kimmie's challenge from last weekend (polka dots), but wouldn't you know, we cleaned the craft room and now I can't find anything! Including my focal image! So, I colored another one.  oh well, she'll turn up eventually.

I have to say, this isn't my favorite card that I have ever made.  There's just too much going on.  But I felt like I had to keep adding some thing because it just wouldn't look right.  I think it really has to do with the direction the focal image girl is looking.  she leads your eyes right off the card, and there wasn't really anything I could do to bring it back. Oh well, live and learn.  I am satisfied with my copic coloring, however. I enjoyed trying a different technique.  I also stamped her in Memento London Fog to give the lines a softer look and she's stamped on xpress it blending card (by far my favorite copic paper). Her dress is paper pieced with authentique paper.


Well, I think thats all for tonight.
