Tutorial Tuesdays: World Goth Day - Celebrate YOU! by Leigh

Happy World Goth Day!

My card for today's Tutorial Tuesday features lil miss Oddleigh Cherished Heart and she's here to tell you how important it is for you to Celebrate YOU!❤️  

I also made this card with Pauley Perrette in mind as a thank you for giving us Abby Sciuto for 15 fabulous years, I'm already missing her, NCIS won't be the same without her😢❤️

lil miss Oddleigh Cherished Heart is quite the character, she's fun and sassy and can be used for pretty much any occasion!  Add her to collections while she's on FLASH SALE, enjoy 25% off thru Wednesday midnight PDT!

Print out Oddleigh Cherished Heart and 2 of the Oddleigh Cherished Heart decorative borders, that comes with her in the set, onto Neenah solar white cardstock and colour up the images using the following Copics:
Skin:  E000, 40, 41 and 42
Eyes:  YG00, 03 and 06
Makeup, Dress and Shoes:  BV00, 01, 02, 04 and 08
Hearts and Lips:  R22, 24, 27, 29 and 59
Hair:  W3, 5, 7 and 9 

Add white highlights with a gel pen then colour up the backgrounds with brown and black Derwent pastel pencils blended with a Dove Blender pen.  Closely trim the images to create 3 panels and apply Pumice Stone then Black Soot Distress Inks to the edges of each panel with foam ink applicators.

Type up the sentiment in Photoshop or similar software or hand write your own.  Colour the background with the DI inks and add a touch of bling to the text with Onyx Black Spectrum Noir sparkle brush pen.  I also added sparkle to her little black heart earring too.

Getting the seal of aPURRovul from Neo😻

Matt all the panels onto dark red cardstock and trim leaving a 1/16" border.  Adhere all the panels to a top folding card made from a sheet of black cardstock.  Adhere the sentiment to the front of the card with 3D silicone glue and embellish with metal fleur-de-lis brads glued in place with E6000 glue.
Tip:  I removed the brad prongs with my heavy duty metal snips.
