Well I won't be going to the cape after all, the weather is too cloudy & we're afraid we will get caught in the rain later so hopefully we will go next week if the weather co-operates...sheesh!!! Oh well such is life, hah?
I started this card last weekend & then I saw Gina K's StampTV video on this kool technique called "Smackin' Acetate" & decided to give it a try on this card. It took a few tries to get it the way I was at least happy with it, it's not perfect but it looks good (you should see the ones I threw out) & I'm happy with it. I will use this technique again sometime...it was fun! If you want to give it a try click here for Gina's video & be prepared to have some fun!
I think I'm going to break down & get me some copics for skin tones, after I uploaded this picture to my blog her face looks so pale & needs more defined color. What colors should I buy for skin tones & cheeks? Let me know what you think, I really would like your feed back on what to do about the faces.

Beautiful! I love that image & the way you finished the inside of the card.
Wow...your card is beautiful Rita! Your image is very pretty and the acetate technique is awesome... I love the the background scene! Awesome job detailing your card as well.
So sorry you had to cancel your trip to the Cape due to soggy weather. The weather in my area is soggy also.
As for skin tones while coloring with Copic's, I like E000 and E00 for the base. To add color to the cheeks, I add a little blush to that area.
Have a great day and thanks for sharing the links.
