I just love this little girl!
For this project the following supplies were used:
Sitting Tilda with curly hair stamped with Momento Ink
Stickles- Lime Green
Copic Markers
White Opaque Marker
All of which can be purchased at Cranberry Hill Mercantile, Sunnyvale Ca
I usually stamp several images at once on a 81/2 by 11 sheet so that I can play around with the image and get the desired look I am after.
Using RV32 - Shadow Pink I colored her cheeks first. My logic is that if I do this first I have a better chance of blending and making the cheek color more subtle, and this avoids having the ring around the cheek area which I found to happen when using the darker markers for skin tone.
Next I work in the E33 in circular strokes using the fine tip first. I at this time will not go over the cheek area, and I will leave some white areas in between the eye and cheeks so that when I go over it with the fat tip it will leave a shadow.
Using the same color, fat tip, I go over the whole face twice(or more as each layer of color dries) so that I now cover the white area, leaving no streaks and blending in the cheek area. I don't saturate to much, because I want to have the shadow in the face. I used my Ott light when I took pictures, so in later pictures it may seem very light in the eye area, but it is the light that makes everything shine so bright...
Using E09 I tap in the color to her hair.
Using E29 I tap in the second color leaving the first color exposed. I use the tapping motion because it allows me the control to fill in the color where I want it placed.
Using YG95 and R39 (picture not shown) I colored her dress and tights.
I placed dots on her cheeks using a white Opaque Marker.Also, highlighting her dress.
And lastly I used Stickles to give my girl some shine for the holiday... HOPE this was of some use to you all who were working on this stamp.
I will be going to the Copic Certification Class in Jan., so I will be able to share what I learn with the group
Ta Ta for now

What a fabulous tutorial and just in time! I work at a school and one of our girls asked me to make a card for her and this is perfect and I've been putting it off because I wasn't sure where to start with different colors of skin. I so appreciate this!
