Sunglasses Girl

Sunglasses Girl

I made this card for my husband who LOVES racing cars. A nice safe hobby wouldn't you say?
I'm the woman and you are seeing the reflection of what I am looking at in the glasses. I had to explain this to my hubby so just thought I would here to just in case.
I used this image below and I will be picking one random winner to receive "Sunglasses Girl"  from Tiffany Doodles. The sentiments are from from SRM stickers available here .



I printed the image two times so I could cut out the sunglasses and the bottom of the pony tails.
The Copic colors I used are YR14 & YR15 first.
First throw down a layer of each color then add another of the YR14. (looks darker in the picture)


On top of the YR 14 keep adding another brown color on top. I think I used E25 and just kept adding layers of color. and alternating between the brown and gold color.  After cutting out the frame part of the glasses I made dashes of brown and black on the frame and once dry added brown on top of the dashes of color. (I was going for the look of designer frames) then added Glossy Accents (on the frames) and set aside to dry.
The lens part was easy (they were separate from the frames) ...I grabbed some of my SRM stickers and just added to lens.I really enjoyed coloring and layering for this card. I think I will use this image for some graduation cards.

Let me know if you have any more questions chances are I left something out? Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to leave a comment so I can pick a winner. Next stop is
