Fire beats Roses... Always

Hey there bloggers! This week Sassy Studio Designs is sponsoring the "Books" challenge at Creative Card Crew, and I FINALLY had a chance to crack out Katniss, Girl of Fire for this project! :)

I chose to alter a composition notebook for this challenge, and I had so so so much fun coloring Katniss' dress!! I was trying to channel the idea of "fire" and halfway through the coloring process I decided to add some yellow for the flames.... I absolutely LOVE the way this one came out, if I don't say so myself, lol! :) But of course, I ruined her lipstick because of the paper I used... It's SOOOO true that the paper choice you make when using copics TOTALLY influences your result. The paper I used was not my usual X-Press it, and I struggled most with skin and lips on this one...

Anywhoo, Thanks for swinging by and have a wonderful day... AND if you haven't read Catching Fire yet, you have about a week and a half before the movie comes out... Just sayin! :) 

Hugs,
