Good morning everyone!

Oh my goodness…I was SO excited to work with ‘Rosie Riveter‘ from the September New Release from C.C. Designs.   I immediately thought of war planes and was on a mad hunt for paper to make my idea work.

Rosie is such an iconic part of World War II.  The women had to help out and work in a variety of positions that were previously closed to them.  The aviation industry saw the greatest increase in female workers during our country’s time of need.

I printed Rosie on X-Press It Blending Card and colored her with the following copic markers:

~Copics~
Skin:  E11/00/000/0000-R20/30  Eyes:  BG72/70  Lips:  E04-R32/30
Pants:  B97/95/93/91-YR23/Y15/Y11
Bandana:  R46/27/24 – white gel pen
Shirt, Socks, and Rag:  N2/1/0
Shoes:  N8/5/4/3

I wasn’t originally going to fussy cut her out, but one of my markers wasn’t playing nice and blobbed on my image.  I had to take a deep breath and figure out how to save her as I only had her shoes left to color.  So…my plans changed and I am so pleased with how she turned out.  I call that a happy accident.  The airplanes are all fussy cut.

The paper is from a digi file I purchased on Etsy found here.  The dies are from Momma Elephant and La-La Land Crafts.

As always, there is an abundance of inspiration to be found in the store here.
