Sweet November Preview Day 2

Good morning. Welcome to day two of the Sweet November Zodiac Girls stamp previews. These will be available for sale in both rubber and digital form at All That Scraps on March 7. Todays projects feature the Gemini and Cancer images. Be sure to also click on over to guest designers Jen and Jeanette along with the creative mind behind the Sweet November line Amy who is offering a chance for some great blog candy.

I chose to feature the "Cancer" image today which I stamped onto Copic X-Press-It cardstock and then colored with Copic markers. I'm not sure I have the catch lights in her eyes placed correctly. How does it look to you? I love how where you place them can completely change the expression. I cut around the box portion of the image with a trimmer and then the portion outside of the framed area with scissors. I replaced the zodiac symbol on her necklace with a rhinestone. She's so pretty I thought she deserved some bling including a pearl earring. The sentiment is Shakespeare which I computered generated. All patterned paper came from my box of scraps.


Products: Sweet November stamp, Ki Memories, Pink Paislee and American Crafts dp, My Favorite Things Die-namics, Papertrey Ink doily die, Making Memories and Doodlebug jewels, Copic Markers

Copics: Skin-E0000, E00, E02; Hair-Y35, E97, E08, E09; Eyes-C5, C7, YG91, YG93, YG95; Lips-R35, R37
