Got Zen?

























Got Zen is her name and mellow is her game! She is one of the newest Oddly Sweet Curiosities by SCACD. Doesn't she make you feel groovy and say things like "Om"?

Got Zen was stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with a variety of Copic markers. When I was done coloring the OSC critter, it was run through my Big Kick in a Nestabilities Circles  die. The image was left in the die, a piece of tape was used as a mask, and I lightly outlined the inner circle using a C00 Copic marker and created a horizon to delineate the grass from the sky. The grassy lawn was colored. The clouds were drawn in using the C00 marker and the sky was completed. Clear Wink of Stella glitter pen was used to add sparkle to her wing and the white ring of the die cut. Clear Stardust Gelly pen was  added to her nails, then clear Gelly Glaze pen was used to add dimension and shine to her horns and nails.

The stamped circle theme was matted to a double layer of Nestabilties Scalloped circle die cuts.

The tie-dyed paper hails from a very old Club Scrap kit. The purple dotted paper is from the Brights Double Dots 6x6 pad by Bo Bunny. It seems to be out of stock, but you can find loads of lovely 6x6 pads HERE!

The ribbon and bow are hand-dyed seam binding sent to me by my talented and lovely friend, Nicole Maki.

The flowers are old Primas and were adorned with Kaiser Craft rhinestones.

I used this sketch by Stamping Sensations!













BTW, the card was posing on the trunk of my daughter's car which reflected the bottom gemstones. Cool!
