Copic fun and The Greeting Farm

After the kids finally went to bed I had some time to finally catch up on my cards. I decided to use digital stamps I just ordered from The Greeting Farm. So far I absolutely love coloring them. Even a copic novice like me can make them look good.

This first one is an anniversary card for a friend. Her wedding colors were black and red. I used the digital image 50s Sweetheart from TGF. Copic colors for the dress and bow were R20, R22 and R24. I really need to get a deeper red. I wasn't able to get it as dark as I would have liked. I used C1 on the boy's jacket and C1, C5 on the pants. I'm still waiting for C3 to come in the mail. The background is an embossed image from Cuttlebug.
My second card is for the loss of a pet. When I saw the Navajo Anya digi from The Greeting Farm, I could imagine all the possibilities for her. She would be great for harvest, Thanksgiving, or any solemn occasion. I went online and found a bunch of Native American inspirational quotes to use with her. She is really beautiful and I had a great time coloring her.

Copics:
Outfit/feather: YR00, YR04, YR07, YG03, YG63, YG67
Cuttlebug embossing folder
Dog stamp set from Michaels
