Harvest Elf


 This is a Murphy's Law card.  Everything that could go wrong did.  I had ink blobs and smudges.  Worst of all  after I finished coloring her face I moved on to color her shoulders.  Thinking I picked up E00, I didn't.  I picked up Y20.  I immediately realized that her face was skin colored and her body was yellowish.  I took my blender and erased as much yellow as possible then went over it with E00.  It was still a little too yellow.  I decided to add a small amount of yellow to the face to compensate.  I think it turned out okay. I felt like this was definitely above my ability level, but I am so happy that I completed it.  The image I used was Harvest Elf from Aurora Wings.  I colored the image with Copic markers.

Copics:  B21, BV000, 00, 02, 04, C00, 0, 1, E00, 11,  34, 43, 99, G19, 20, 21, 24, 28,

  2. I would never have noticed any problems at all, Diane! This is gorgeous beyond belief and clearly not above your ability level. Gotta say I've picked up the wrong marker plenty of times myself but with disastrous results. LOL Her skin looks beautiful to me as does the entire card. Fabulous job and thanks so much for joining in our AW FB challenge. xxxD
