***********************************
Now how about some inspiration from AI Factory digital images? Below is my card and underneath it are a few written steps for achieving the dimension on the image.
- I printed Ella hugging a heart twice and the roses bouquet twice. Colored one of each completely and the second Ella, I only colored her arms, and the second roses, only colored the 3 roses in the middle.
- Cut out the full rose bouquet and then the 3 middle roses and used foam dots to pop the middle roses up on top. Then glue the entire bouquet over the heart Ella is holding.
- Cut out Ella's arms from the second image and glued down the tops to the main image and used foam pop up tape under the hands.
RECIPE:
- Image: Love you Ella by AIFactory
- CS/PAPER: watercolor, pink, rose, Basic grey Eva
- INK: Tombow markers 228, 772, 837, 850, 899, 947, 991
- ACCENTS/TOOLS: waterbrush, Nestabilities octagons, circle punches, Provocraft mini scallop flower die, retired SU ribbon, Basic grey pearls, retired SU felt flowers, Su border punch, sewing machine, pop dots, glue dots, 1/4" sheer ribbon
I hope you enjoy your day!

Hi Laurie, your card is just fabulous and that colouring is awesome. I was really surprised to see you've used Tombows as I thought it was Copics.
