Be Your Own Hero

It's been quite a while since I used my markers because I've been having so much fun water-colouring using my reinkers, but this image was a bit daunting to approach with a paintbrush, so I reached for my Copics.

I'm not sure I got the pleats quite right, but they're a lot better than I could have achieved with the inks.

I was quite pleased with her legs!



Card Recipe:
I've been inspired by:
  • Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
    (I couldn't bring myself to tear the papers, so created an arc instead using a die!)
  • Make the Day Special - Sketch (image and die from the store)
Happy crafting

You have always been a hero(ine) to me hunny, so to see this super girl coloured so brilliantly comes as no surprise at all! She is AWESOME! Love her cape. You're right, it was a struggle with inks. Hugs xx
