... all of that rubber... sitting there... staring at me... mocking me... I cracked.
Ta da! It was so worth it... ya' know... not getting some of the non-fun stuff done that I really need to get done :) Isn't she awesome?! This is one of the Goddess stamps from Elementals from Smeared Ink... me likey alot. I almost started with regular skin tones and thought better of it... I'm so glad. I think I'll have to buy refill ink for my Copic markers soon, but man I had fun.
I added Crystal Lacquer on the water drop tattoos, eyes & lips... o-so-shiney :) I seriously tried to get a decent photo, but I'm telling you right now the skin shading looks way better in person.
One thing I might do next time is mask off the inked cheek area... I HAVE been know to perform stamp surgery before... cutting out elements or snipping them apart... but I'm thinking Terra might hex me if I did that :) AND this is such a lover-ly stamp image... maybe I'd better stick to masking :)
And just so you know, I've NEVER seen a stamp sheet of rubber so damn thick before! It is unbelievable... I'm just sayin'. Lil' Grumpies is on my list, but I must wait until next month... dammit.

Great Barb!!!! You are doing so well with coloring! Love the image too!
Barb, You colored her WONDERFULLY!! I am new to "coloring". I am a scrapbooker, turned mixed media freak. So, my art is throwing tons of stuff on a canvas, and using tons of mediums, and NOT being neat. Now, I have to use my Smeared Ink stamps to color, like an artist!! and I am having a hell of a time coloring like an artist like all of you girls do. I'm tryin!!
AND..I am trying SO HARD to fit my first HDH challenge in this week!!
I want to be in the Gruesome Twosoome so bad!!!
Really great work!
Love the colors you used!
ha ha ha how long did you make it? I can't believe Oz bet against ya. Here I thought she was your friend. lol
You made it longer than I could have, just don't tell anyone. :+)
Wow! That's totally gorgeous. I love how you colored her and wish I could see it in person for the dimension and shine!
