This is the second card I did for the challenge at Outlaws, Suzy. I wanted her to be colorful. I colored her in with my prismas, added stickles for her eye and on the balloons, and added jewels to her sandals and  necklace. I added some small pink flowers using jewels for the centers and added a ribbon.
I hope you like her.

This is the first card I did for the challenge at Outlaws, Roxanne.
I colored her in with my prismas and added pearls to her neck. The green metalic did not show up as good as I had hoped. I used the metalic penci for the ribbon at her waist, around her bodice, and for the headband. I tried to get out of my box with the challenge so I used a large flower with a brad for the center. Finally I added a ribbon. I hope you like her.

I want to send a huge THANK YOU to Anne Marie over to Splitcoasters for giving me the links and encouragement to try my very first dig with the copics I won over at CDAC.  I'm very happy with the way they came out especially on my first try.
The following are the colors I used:
G000, G09, G17 for the leaves. (I just wish I had more of an olive color.)
R39, R46, R81 for the roses.
I hope you like it.

I had so much fun doing this card. I want to send out a huge THANK YOU to Anne Marie over at Splitcoasters for giving me such wonderful links and encouragement on my roses which helped me to try this digi. This is the first person I have colored using the copics I won over to CDAC (& a few I bought to go with them). I am really happy with how she came out, especially on my first try.
These are the colors I used:
G07, G12, G17 for the grass.
E00, E01, E51 for her skin tone.
E21, E23, E25 on the guitar.
E08, E18 for her hair.
R46 for the hearts on the guitar.
V06, V09, V20 for her pants, t-shirt, and a bracelet.
RV000, RV04, RV13 for her overshirt and two bracelets.
I used stickles for some bling for her eyes, the bracelets, and the hearts on the guitar. I used a purple gem brad to hold the ribbon tag  that is holding a metal tag that says Happy.
I hope you like her as much as I do.
I've been trying to keep busy. I was able to color a lot with my pencils as they are so forgiving, now I just need to go over them with gamasol.

No idea why I've been hurting so much lately but I've finally been able to get a doctors appointment for next Thursday, hopefully he'll be able to help me. I have a good feeling he's going to tell me I need to wear my neckbrace again for awhile, I really hate that thing!! I have to admit it does help after awhile. It's not going to help my shoulder though, nor is it going to get rid of the shaking in my hands.

The shaking spells are coming on more frequently and lasting longer each time. I know it has to do with the nerve damage in my neck but I'm starting to get scared I won't be able to do any coloring. I have hundreds of digi's I've printed off to color when I have bad days to use in my scrapbooking. I wish someone would come up with a cure or something for my damage. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there that has this issue so you'd think they have something in the works.
