Tiddly Inks Challenge # 44 - Celebrate with us! Red, Black & White (also Tue Morning #87)

This week’s Tiddly Inks challenge was a birthday celebration to Christy.  It had to be Red, White & Black.
I decided that I would  try this a 2 challenges and go with Tuesday Morning Sketches.

I was very happy with how this card turned out, but I still have a long way to go to master black hair.  I am also still learning a lot about Copic markers.  I did get new paper delivered today after doing this that might make it easier to blend.  Sometimes I notice on the paper I use right now that it separates and leaves it a little blotchy.

I started like I do every week trying to figure out what Tiddly Inks digital art to use.  Then I realized I needed to make my daughter a birthday card for a friend.  So when I saw Take A Bow I knew this was the one.  The little girl that this card was for is Asian and so I knew that the black, white and red would work awesome.  I used Copic markers to color in and on the skin tone I used YR family so that it gave a little more yellowish skin.  It worked perfect.  I cut out my shapes with my spell binders, which are also new to me and boy do I really like them.  Always have to add a little bling, so some clear/white gems were needed and a black ribbon with white dashes completed the bottom.  Adding just a few gems on top of it.  I asked my daughter what she wanted me to use below the picture, flowers or buttons.  She decided she liked the buttons, but unfortunately I only had 1 of the flower buttons and so I had pulled out 2 other white buttons and 2 red buttons.  As you see my daughter decided on the red.  I ended my card with a few white highlights. 

I do hope that this card brings you the joy that it brought me working on it.
