Winter Fun

Hello Hump Day. This digital image is by Polkdoodles. I love using Copics and find it is so, easy to blend the colors. Copics used on this image are Jeans (B06, B14, B45), Scarf (G21, G24, YG03, YG67, G00), Coat/Scarf (Y11, Y21, W3, W5), Snowman C1, C3).

What alcohol markers do you use and why? The layout was created with many scraps of pattern paper and I used stickles in the middle of the snowflakes and round the main circle.

I <3 Cats

My first Valentine's card for the warm and fuzzy season. I feel we should show love to our family and friends throughout the year. This card was created using a Penny Black stamp. The image was stamped twice. I pop dotted the cats paws holding the heart. I sponged blue and green on the center square to create a background scene. The cat was colored with Copics (Y11, YR21, YR24, YR14 & E37). For embellishments, I added a white heart brad and twine.

Little Missy

How about a little Copic inspiration today? Today's card was created with a free digital stamp image. This took me less than one hour to colored. I have a photo of the colors I used below. I defind this card as CAS. Not sure if you noticed in the main photo, look closely, the tiny rhinestones used as flowers. In the comment section, let me know what you think about digital stamps?

Happy Birthday

Good Monday morning.  I had a great weekend, went fly fishing with 17 other ladies.  Even though I didn't catch anything it was still fun.  Today's project is a birthday card.  The layers adds even more drama for this beautiful inspiration.

The card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  The SU main image was stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa. 

I colored the flowers with Copics: Flowers [RV 04, RV13, RV 21 and V17], Branches [YR14 & E15], Leaves [YG03 & G24]. I added the ribbon for a finishing touch.

Strawberries Are Always In Season

Bliss

This card was created with Kraft cardstock and white embossing powder.  The edges were sponged with white craft ink.  The colorings on the flowers were done with Copic markers.  This is just another way to use your Copic markers.  I added some twine and a decorative boarder to the right side of the card for added interest.  I truly appreciate everyone stopping by to take a look.

Sweet Girl

I know it has been awhile since I posted anything.  While I was away I asked myself if cards and papercrafts was something I enjoy doing. The answer was yes.  So, I have decided to start posting again.

This card was created with a digital stamp.  For coloring I used Copic markers.  This was the first time I created clouds.  Does the clouds look real to you?
