Harvest Cutie Pie MMSC76

 So typing my title just reminded me of my cousin who is named "Harvest."  I just think it is so pretty as a name.  Anyhow, on with the show.  :)


I love the old applique that I Glimmer Mist colored to match.  And my favorite, seam binding, bows in the corners.  Graphic 45 and recipe card papers.  Felt swirls and pearls.  I just had a blast making this card!

I thought I would try something a little different for this week's image.

First I stamped and embossed this Harvest Cutie Pie from our weekly sponsor, DRS Designs, in white powder.  Then I began to color her with my copics.  Much to my surpise and delight. . . the Copics colored the white embossed lines.  So each piece of my little cutie could be any color I desired.  Or any Copic color I have that is.  :)  I was able to do some cool outlining and other neat effects.  I added a close up below.

Check out her hair.  First I colored it all over with brown.  Then I went over the embossing with yellow.  Presto!  Like magic, wish my highlights were that easy.  I colored and colored on this little gal into the wee hours of the morning!  I also used Gina K paper for the first time.  Total yumminess and shiny Copic coloring with no bleed through.
