Melissa's Anime Image

So today, I wanted to show some really simple, lovely cards I made using one of the oriental weave embossing folders from Cuttlebug. I was trying to think of an image that would compliment the embossing folder. So I went to my favorite site for anime images; http://www.deviantart.com/

I LOVE this site. One of my favorite artists is Princess Elemmiriel. She has the most gorgeous line art to color. I chose Lady Rose Dragon . . . I can't tell you how many cards and miscellaneous items I have made with this image in particular. So while I waited for my printer ink to dry - -you can never wait too long - -I embossed a beautiful Jade Green and a Silver Gray paper from Core'dinations Gemstone pack with my oriental weave embossing folder. I would highly recommend this paper as well! I centered them on some back cardstock from my stash and started coloring my images. Bytheway, these cards are the standard A2 size :o)

So I tried to stay with complimentary colors to the papers I chose. You don't have to use all the colors I did to get the same effect; I just started tossing in colors while I was playing. I really tried for a dramatic look with the eyes and lined them with a multiliner and with spicas. What do you think?
