Another wonderful sketch provided to us today by Roxie. This is really my first foray into digi stamps. I had seen this image on gingerbeary8's card and fell in love with it. I didn't know how computer ink would work with Copics, but it seemed to do OK...not as good as Memento however. I think I might have gotten carried away with snowflakes, but I wanted a frosty look.

You have done a fabulous job coloring this beautiful image. I fell in love with it too!!! Since you said this was you first time with a digi, the biggest hint I could give you for coloring is to heat set your ink if you are going to color right after printing. Sometimes I print out a week in advance and just let them air dry, but if I need to use them right away, I use the heat gun. I just love how you did her in blue with blond hair!!! This is like a complete opposite of the one I did and I love it just as much. Now I will have to try it...lol I love all the snowflakes!!! She is a snow fairy so she should be surrounded with flurries!!! lol Beautiful job on this card. Thank you for referencing me in your post. That was so sweet. Love your card!!!

This is just beautiful. Love how you've cut out her hair and how it flows into the rest of the card.
