iCopic DT Call - Some Odd Girl Challenge

 Hi ya everyone!
  Well you all know how much I LOVE my Copics.  Once I picked them up in May I haven't been able to put them down.  About a week ago I found this lovely little site called iCopic Lover.  The best part is they were having a DT call and though it's a long shot with all the amazingly talented colorers out there I had to try!  Please check out the iCopic Love blog and see all they have to offer.  In addition they have a wonderful shop found HERE and everyone raves about their quick shipping and great prices!  You find their Facebook page HERE.

For the entry you have to use the color pink.  I chose the R20-R22 Copic colors to make a blush color on the sweet image from Some Odd Girl called Flyin High Mae.  I cut her out with my nestables and inked the edges with another blush color from Tim Holtz called Tattered Rose.
I colored her with the following colors and then topped her off with my white gel pen to highlight cheeks, feet and kite!
I also wanted to enter this weeks challenge at Some Odd Girl - Clean and Simple challenge.  I like this sort of challenge because I can make the image the main focus and let's face it - she's too cute not to be the focus!  There is nothing to explain here because the layout is very easy.
I will say however that I didn't have a matching ribbon - so GUESS what I did - yup USED MY COPICS to color the ribbon the color I wanted - did you know you could do that?  I love it - it also makes the ribbon a bit stiff and a tiny bit sticky which makes the bow so beautiful.
 Check out the iCopic DT call at iCopic Lover - and if you are just starting out and are interested in Copics stop by the blog to learn about them and ask questions!
