Birdie Friend

Hi Peeps! Here is a newly released rubber image, "Birdie Friend" , 
fresh off the press at Whimsy today! 
I spent a long time colouring this one with Copics! Here is your colour list: 
Hair: E40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 47
Skin: E000, 00, 01, 11 and V91 and 93 with R30 for her blush.
Overalls: R81, 83, 85, V91, 93, 95 with some blender for highlights, and RV02 on the heart and button
Ribbon: RV02, 10, V91, 93, 95
Flowers: R81, 83, 85, 56, stems and leaves: YG03, 06, 25, 67
Grass: YG61, 17, 67, 99, G82, 94, BG96
Birdie: B52, B000, BG72, R30, RV42, V93
White blouse: V91, 93, B0000
Background: I used a lot of colour layering for the background.  I started with YG61.  I found it too dark and too green, and so I put several layers of RV0000 over top, as well as a final coat of the blender 0. Adding the red violet over the green greyed it down a bit, which is what I wanted. 
I lucked out with the hair - my E44 tip is so worn that it comes to a nice sharp point, and by barely touching it to the paper, I was able to get these tiny hair lines.  Yay for old markers! lol
I'm giving you a super big close up so you can see all the colour details! 
The gorgeous papers are from Tracy's set at Whimsy, "Softly Spring".  I can't get over how gorgeous her papers are.  If you haven't seen them, you have to go to Whimsy to check them out.  They are all quite stunning. 
Sentiment is from their digital set, "Vintage Sentiments". 
Thanks for stopping by today!
