Winter Blues Card Swap (1st card)

I heard about a card swap through LogansCraftyMomma on Youtube that seemed fairly easy so I decided to join and was put in a group of 5 ladies. The challenge was to make 4 cards with a spring or summer theme and the title of the swap is "Winter Blues".

With only 4-5 days left before the deadline to mail the cards I took advantage that my husband came home early from work (due to being sick) and went to the craft room after dinner (Popeye's Chicken, which incidentally I had not had in over 10 years and don't care for it very much) and conjured up the following card. I had no intentions of making a card, just to try to use the humble set of copic markers that I had to see if I can color skin. I liked it so much that I ended up finishing a card. Sure it took 4 hours, but I'm happy with the finished product and I hope whoever gets it is pleased as well.

I forgot to mention that I was only able to color her skin with the copics because that's all I have for now.
I used Stampin Up color pencils for the rest... lol

I'm loving using glitter glue lately.

The deadline to enter the swap was 2/18/11, so maybe you can enter the next one.

Thanks for stopping by.
