Star of Wonder

What a miserable day it is today, where is the Indian Summer we were promised? There was a hint of blue sky out to sea just now, but it didn't last and more rain is headed this way! So I've been able to finish a card I started ages ago, there's a box full of bits in various stages of completion so I must do something about it all. This is a LOTV stamped image called star of wonder, and she's coloured with Copics. As well as my skin tones I used YG93 and G99 for the greens; R22, 24, 27 and 29 for the reds; YR20, Y21 and YR24 for the gold tones and E34, 35, 57 and 47 for the browns. There's also B60 for the shadow and shading and Platinum Stickles for the sparkle.

And here's the card, snapped in a moment of sunshine so you can see the shadows under my layers. The papers are scraps from the bit box matted with dark green card with everything give a brown inked edge, although it's not showing up around the image at all. My embellishments are made with layers of Marianne diecuts and a pale amber Waco pearl maker pen.
