Paper Transformer: So Shy

Isn't she just adorable. I fell in love with this image as soon as I saw her and just had to get her. Not that I don't have enough digital images! She is called Sweet Sarah by Chrissy Digi's and which I found at Whimsey Stamps. I love the sitting images, except Magnolia, but there are very few images to sit them on. I was so glad when I found that they also had a really cute seat to place her on called Love Seat.

I am taking an online intermediate copic class offered at Simply Scrapping Crafts. This week we are learning how to color faces and this is one of the images I used for my "homework".

I was able to use my all time favorite paper, Jolie Chocolat by SEI. The colors were not a perfect match, but close enough for me.

Anyone else find it hard to match paper to copic colors? I pick my paper and then use a color chart I made of all the colors I own to match the colors to the paper. Then when I am finished they don't match. Grrrr... How frustrating it is. I end up picking my paper by the "well it's close enough' strategy, lol, as I did here.

I cut this butterfly out of one of the sheets of papers. I hope I don't regret it later when I want to use the paper and there is a big hole where I want to cut!
