Beaded Elzybells, Giveaway Winner and a New Giveaway for You

 

Hi everyone!

Isn't this a sweet little card? I love Elzybells and can't wait to get my hands on more! These stamps are from the A Muse Elzybells collection. I wanted to keep today's card simple and focus on the fun colors and textures, and the message, make a wish. So nice - it can be for a birthday, or for no occasion at all. After all, we all have dreams and things we wish for. Some big (peace on Earth, good will to all) and some small (I would love to have a card published, get on a certain Design Team). What are you dreams and wishes, large or small? Do share :) Onto today's card: I applied silver, gold and blue beads to the cardstock with glue. I think the round and bugle shaped beads are a  nice stand in for stars.

More Tips on Copics: 

Here I go on my Copic mystery quest again. Today I used R00 Pinkish White with E21 Baby Skin Pink. The R00 really toned down the ruddiness that can appear in E21. Her cheeks are again colored with R20 Blush. I applied Shimmering Chalks over the markers for a subtle glow. It is hard to see in the photograph, but the results are wonderful.

For a warm, glowing moon I added some orange, making it more prominent on the left side of the crescent, then added some blue to the moon to tie it into my card color scheme. 

The twinkle in her hair is from a touch of Lavender Stickles.
