Lisa's Life Lines: Star Friends

A new Sketch and Challenge is up at Your Next Stamp

Come play along for a chance to win a YNS GC. You can find all the details HERE.

I used the sketch and rotated it counter clockwise.
I made my cloud border using the Puffy Cloud Die Set. I took the larger die and repeated three cuts side by side to make a long stencil. I then sponged lightly just along the top of the cloud. I lined up my sentiment so my star nestle in with it. I used the simple Copic Coloring technique - one marker per color. The secret is letting one coat dry before adding shadows with another layer and repeating to darken the shadows.

Oh my goodness, is this not the cutest little image?!
I love these sweet little girls on this adorable smiling star. SQUEE! I used the new Window Panel Die as a stencil by sponging through the little rectangle to make my rainbow. I tried to make my star look like it is sparkling by coloring with Copics then using the tip of my Copic Colorless Blender.

It was love at first site with this new set Fire Up The Fun.
I think it makes such awesome kid cards but also sure to smile on anyone's face. Especially for the fire person in your life. I did next generation stamping with the fire engine to get the look of motion. I did use masks and stamped off to get my lighter trucks. My photo is a little lighter then IRL because I wanted to get the light trucks (they were not showing up very well until I did that).
