Crystal

Tuesday, August 21, 2012

Hi everyone! I wanted to share a little bit of Make it Crafty inspiration with you today. Have you seen Zoe's brand new tutorial on shading with a light source? It is super helpful and informative especially if you have never learnt art or the technical aspect of drawing like me! :)

The tutorial coincides with a brand new digi release...amazing 60s girls! Absolutely love their style and their outfits :) For my card I have used Crystal, who was also used in Zoe's tutorial.

I looove her hair! Wish my hair was like and that I could walk around in amazing long plaits every day hehe
Here are the copic colours I used on her:

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, R11
Hair: E21, E25, E29
Dress: BG000, BG13, BG49
Red Accents: R32, R35, R37
Yellow Accents: Y15, Y17



Don't forget to stop by the Make it Crafty store blog to check out all of the amazing inspiration. Dang those girlies are talented! And if you sign up to the newsletter over there you also get a free Make It Crafty digi! Woohoo! :D Hope you all have a great day! xx
