Tips and Tricks Tuesday!
Good morning! Tracy here today for tips and tricks tuesday.
I don’t know about you but I am a HUGE fan of the Uptown Girls from Stamping Bella. They are so stinkin’ cute but can be challenging because they are larger images then the norm. So I also find my cards tend to be very CAS designs.
Here is a little something I do to CAS designs that just help it “pop”. I like to take a black Copic Multiliner and hand draw a frame around the image. Sometimes I use a ruler but other times I love the no so straight lines going around. You can even do a faux stitch along it.
Today I used Audry Loves Her Makeup by Stamping Bella. She is colored with Copic Markers. The Colors used are:
Skin: E000, E00, E11, E21
Hair: E21, E23, E25
Dress: W4, W6, W7, W9, 100
Blue: BG45 BG49
I added some depth to the blues with a pastel pencil. The Cardstock is Bazzil Cardshoppe Cardstock – Candy Necklace and Licorice.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Tracy

Love this stamp and your coloring is fabulous! Thanks for the tip about the marker around the outside edge. It makes her stand out. I also noticed how you grounded her and gave it a sense of a horizon line with that fabulous triangle. I am going to have to give that a try.

I love the Uptown Girl collection and this one is no exception! I agree, the black outline does add to the overall design. Beautiful card
