Dog-Gone Wonderful
Today’s Ways To Use It challenge was to use Orchid Opulence in a card. In my small stash of Copic markers I had one ( V04 Lilac) that matched pretty darn close! In my quest to tackle these markers I decided to use them to color my image. The entire image (minus some last minute shading with Close to Cocoa on the dog) was done with my Copics.
I traced the rounded part (dinner plate) and cut it freehand.
I used:
B34 Manganeze for the blue background
E31 Brick Beige for the bones and the dog
V04 Lilac for the outer part of the BG (then I made the dots with my trusty Signo gel pen).
Stamps: Cat ‘n Dog - My Favorite Things - www.mftstamps.com
Paper: Orchid Opulence, Brocade Blue, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Noir Black Palette, Close to Cocoa
Accessories : Black stitched GG ribbon from www.reasonableribbon.com, Signo Gel Pen, AquaPainter, rhinestone
