I haven't colored up an ArtbyMiRan image in a while but this one was such a delight and she's going into my stash of birthday cards.
I colored this image with my Koh-I-Noor pencils and gamsol. I learned some real lessons about blending and shading. I'm not sure I'm completely satisfied with it but maybe in my head I'm still just comparing it to coloring with alcohol markers.
The two papers are both from the same Authentique pad and I used sparkly, black ribbon over the join point. The image is cut with a die on the top and two sides, and then hand cut across the bottom to keep the sentiment where it was printed.
I matted the image with seafoam CS and tied a "bowtie" bow from satin ribbon to pull out some of the darker salmon shades in the paper.
