VC Challenge #27 - Sketch

First off, sorry about the coloring. I took 3 pictures this morning and all were not great. I tweaked this in photoshop but the coloring is still not that great. The little girls dress is white and pink, I know the pink isn't showing up but when I got it to, the purple was ruined.
Anyway, this is my entry for VC challenge this week. It was a sketch to follow. I found I need some pattern paper in purple. I thought it turned out well though. I did turn the sketch. I though the monster fit better this way.

Halloween Witch-Copic Challenge

For those of you in my hometown group....DON'T LOOK! This card is for an upcoming event with my stampers in my hometown. I had alot of fun with this one. She is fun to color and I think she turned out great. I went a bit on the traditional colors but my next one I may just switch it up a bit. I love copics but discovered as I was coloring this that my N01 ran out. I already replaced it. I must use it alot for undertones and things. I now have 3 that I am watching because they are loosing their stuff. I hate to repeat colors being I have not gotten all yet but if they are ones I use a lot I will just have to. I also got a new MS punch for this and I love it. I have been eying it awhile. I just love it and I think it will work for things other then Halloween. One thing you may not see is my use of stickles for the dots on the patch and candy. It pops it out...really.

Girl in Kimono

This little reminds me of my brother....yes, I did say brother. I don't know him very well, we are about 20 years apart in age and he was already in the military when I was born. Most of my life he had been stationed in Okinawa and is now retired there. I had thought about asking him to send me a Kimono but I never have.
