I am loving the colors on this one!!! Of course I wanted to do it in aquas for Aquarius, and I went a little toward the green end of monochromatic to give the image some more pop! I haven't quite mastered coloring skin tones in non-traditional colors, so I also used my artistic license there too, and went with my go-to colors. LOL! The image can be found in the zodiac section of the shop; just scroll down the images until you see it.
Copic colors: Skin: E04, 21, 51, 50, R11. Lips: BG49, 15, 32, W5. Hair: BG 49, 15, YG11, W5. Eyes: W5, 100, BG49, 32, YG03. Background: BG32, YG11.
The image is partially cut with a rectangular die, with the image being fussy cut in the areas outside the rectangle. To do this, just place the die onto the image and lightly draw with a pencil where you want it to cut. Then fussy cut areas outside the pencil line. Now the die can be placed into the image; just put the cut out areas on top of the metal edge so they don't get cut off.
The background panel is a 3-D embossing folder from We R Memory Keepers. I was still trying to keep the theme; birthday, astrological signs, gemstone theory going...
