It's Wednesday…you know what that means! It's my turn to make a project over on the iCopic Blog! Today's card features the lovely Birthday Anya stamp and a retro color palette with a new shape. I used tons of markers on this one…and I tried a new color of hair. Let me know what you think!
The finished card is about a four inch square. I used the largest size round scallop nestie and then fit the smaller circles inside. I put one gingham circle with the pattern straight up and down (red one) and the other gingham circle on a diagonal (blue one) for visual interest. I crammed a lot of stuff on that little card – lemme tell ya!
This entire card was inspired by those little pre-made rosettes! I just fell in love with the colors and they made me think of the 40's so I made Birthday Anya feel kind of retro with her golden hair and some vintage lace and pearls.
These are all the Copics I used on this one!
I tried a new color combination for hair this time, so I thought I would share it. I wanted really soft light golden hair. You'll see that all of my colors were not from the same color group. I was winging it!
The final result and close up of the coloring:

Gorgeous cute card and those rosettes beautiful!
Adorable! Simply adorable, my friend! I love, love the round shape of the card, and love all that gingham. Gives this such a sweet, homespun feel, with a funky retro vibe. Your coloring is just amazing, as always. I truly love how the hair came out. You rock!
Yep, it’s a-mazing how colors you can use just to color hair and winging is sometimes the best way! Love the flashback feel of it…reminds me of an old-time badge they would hand out during presidential campaigns from way back when!
