I actually made this yesterday for Sara, Angie's precious little girl, before I knew of the lovely Teaparty that Lisa is hosting for Angie - perfect timing hey.
The background is from my stash. When cleaning up after using stencils, instead of loosing excess paste down the sink, I get off as much as I can onto a suitable background from my stash.
Sara love, love, loves glitter - seriously who doesn't, so I put heaps of superfine glitter on this card. It doesn't show up much in the photo though.
Little skating Sara is printed onto copy paper, coloured with pencils and Zest it pencil blend, topped off with Copics.
I'm off to post my cards now. Thank you for looking.

Your coloring is outstanding and once again you nailed it with your background work. I'm pretty sure none of us can even imagine how you get your effects with copics and pencils to look like it's hand painted. Fabulous again! I've never known alcohol and wax to mix so beautifully.

LOL, I do that with spare paste too. Actually that reminds me, I must put some in my shopping list. I see all the sparkle on the ice. Such a sweet card for Sara.

Oh Miss Susie what a wonderful card you created for little Sara. She does love glitter and this is sure to give her a huge smile. Thank you so much for sending a card to both Angie and Little Sara. You are really going to give them both big smiles.
