Cupcake Craft Challenge with Aurora!

Welcome to the weekend!! Woo hoo!! Today I wanted to share a card I made using our gorgeous new addition over at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design, AURORA!! The new collection is called Victoria Case for SCACD - The Aurora Collection and I know you love her as much as we do! She is available now!

I used a sketch for today's card from over at the Cupcake Craft Challenges. This is challenge #74 and here it is for reference {I made my card 5" square}:

I also used a color challenge {although I forgot when I blogged this due to EXTREME jet lag coming home from our vacation --- sorry!!!}. My new favorite for colors, the Copics Colour Challenge blog, this is CCC48. My colors are a little off {the blue} because I really wanted to use this yummy paper, but I was going for this combo when I made it so I say it counts! Here's the swatch:
This image is called Aurora with Bird. I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on PTI white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. I added some highlights with the Ranger white gel pen when I was done there. Basic Grey patterned paper of course! Some little pearls at the top to finish it off {Kaisercraft} and she's all set!
