For my card today, I've used the Bugaboo Stamps image called Sick Girl. I think it's never a bad idea to keep a few 'get well' cards handy, especially moving into the cold months of winter! I wasn't sure what I thought of this image when I first saw it, but I really wanted to bring it to life, and practiced a lot of my PSE techniques for shadows when I colored her in.
One thing about coloring digitally that is a challenge for me, always, is that I lose some luminosity when I print. My printer is a photo printer, but it just doesn't handle the subtle shades nearly as well as I'd like. Here's what this image looks like on a screen:
