I colored most of the images at last weeks Thursdays stamping get together. I do this alot because I can concentrate on coloring and assemble the cards at home. Much easier, I don't have to carry so much.
The image was colored with Copic Markers of course on Cryogen cardstock. I love the hidden sparkle of this paper. The image and the mat were cut out using the "Spellbinders" die "Label Seven" and embossed the image mat with a "Cuddlebug" embossing folder.
For the embelishments I attached twelve swarovski pink crystals using a tool simular to the very popular "I-Rock". Very simple to use.
Hint: When you want to place crystals evenly spaced, I find that if you take a piece of 7-count plastic canvas you can get you spacing of the crystals very even and centered. Just place the plastic canvas on the space you want to put the emblishment in and count to hole. A small pencil maker will help you place the crystals.
The hearts and the glass where covered with "Crystal Lacquer" gives a little depth and shine.
If you have questions about this card, leave a comment and your email address, and I will answer you promptly.
Have a GREAT DAY!!!

Bob... I love this image! Rose did an awesome job of picking this one out! Kudo's Rose! Your coloring and shading are wonderful! The hint that you have shared is perfect! I would have never thought of that! I would like to ask permission to place that hint into the Tips and Tricks area on The Copic Musketeer Group! And then place it onto the group blog! Thanks for sharing with me! Happy Creating! Sara

How sweet. Love this image and what you did with it. Thanks for the measuring tip. What tool did you use. I usually end up measuring correctly, but have difficulty placing the small pieces down just where I want them.

Bob, I have that Spellbinder's set and have never used it - guess I need to break it out and add it to a card. Thanks for the inspiration, lovely card. Cindy2
