This is the card I made for her, it started with a manga style drawing.

Then I used some hand painted papers that I made a while back, to create a background on a white linen card.

Finally I cut the drawing out and glued her onto the background, made a matching tag and voila!

Hm.
ReplyDeleteI have been doing something weird and creepy.
I have been trolling your blog but not commenting. I'd better stop that. It's an odd habit. Now I'm here, but I am distracted and my heart is not in this comment because I have still not gotten out of my sleeping cap and robe from last night.
Also, I have some stuff to do, and my kids just got home.
I have
NO
idea
why I am telling you this.
Manga?
Nah.
I don't have you pegged for a manga girl.
Everyone is surprising me today...
I'm surprising me.
I need to shut up.
Are you well enough to skype yet?
I swear I'll take off the sleeping hat.
Fun work to see, Darcy!! Good job!
