A Little Tip to Try

Happy Thursday everyone!  It's Jodi here and I have a little tip I'd like to share with you today.  Here is my finished card using CC Friday Night, but it didn't start out that way......

Did you ever have a paper that you liked, but found that just didn't work out with your image/layout?  For this card I had colored the image to match a certain paper but when I laid it all out I decided that the paper was just too busy and I didn't like it.  Instead of tossing it and starting all over, I pulled out my black copic marker, colored in parts of it and voila.....a completely different look!  

From this:

 To this:

And then I had to change the polka dotted paper since it had light greet dots and didn't match at all.  I just colored over them with the black copic again.

From this:

To this:

Granted it won't work for all papers, but for those it does, it is a an easy way to make a drastic change!  

Now I would also like to show you how I shade the eyes.  Don't mind the uneven circles I colored....they really aren't noticeable in real life, well, unless you magnified it ;)  It is really easy, and adds a big impact.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Anyone for Anya - Winter Blues
Deconstructing Jen - sketch (In place of the half circles on the upper left, I noticed that there were 2 flowers in that section on my patterned paper so I decided to add pearls to the center of those).

Runway Inspired Challenge - Based of the below Cacharel Spring 2013 dress (I chose to use the colors....black, white and the turquoise color)

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
