Blue, green & black Best Wishes Girl (Saturated Canary image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Here's my second Saturated Canary card, isn't this a gorgeous girl? So sad you can't buy these images anymore. I coloured her with distress inks except for her skin which I coloured with Copic markers. I silver embossed a pathway for her to walk on. I used my Oxide inks along with shimmer water and WRMK next level embossing folder to create the background paper. I also cut up a beautiful black Jasmine puffy flourish from Flourish with a Bling.
