Copics 101

I took a class on coloring with Copics.  I absolutely love coloring with Copics!!
I love this card....I especially like coloring flowers.  I've had to buy some new stamps - oh, darn!! Lol.  I smudged the sentiment, so I'll have to do that over.

Hope you enjoy!

Butterfly Thoughts

I picked out the same colored CS as  this butterfly has in it.  I didn't like it at all, so I narrowed down the colors to just these two.  Much better!!!

Hope you enjoy.

One Layer

This is my first attempt at a one layer card.  I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.   I absolutely love it.


I had to mask the branch because I stamped it first.  I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to stamp the shadow and the sentiment.  It looked sort of naked, so I added the button.

Thanks for visiting.

Valentine's Goodies

I realise that it's way past Valentines, but I forgot to post the goody boxes that DD2 and I made.  We started with white CS (brown for the boys) and stamped hearts and stuff on it. Then we cut them out, folded and taped together. 


We made the front part with red CS behind White CS that's stamped with a big red heart.  Then we cut out a big heart out of pink DP and put 3 strips of double sided tape and stuck 3 different colors of teeny tiny micro beads on them.  We then popped that out on top of the big red heart.  We put a little red heart on the lid, that has a pink bling on it.  My DD was thrilled.

Thanks for visiting.

Pretty In Pink Wonderful Inchies

 I got some new inchie stamps, so I had to try them out.  CS, DP and ink are all SU, and the pearls, ribbon and stamps are unknown (bought at either Michaels or Scrapbookers Paradise).

These are very soft colors; very feminine; so it got sent to a very good friend of mine.   Hope you enjoy.

Thanks for visiting.

Olive Sympathy

I got out my markers and colored this one.  I LOVE coloring.

Missing Mojo

I like the colors.  I like the layout.  I like the embellishments.  I like the DP.  BUT....there's something missing or is it the placement of the elements?  A smaller and darker sentiment just above the ribbon on the right of the focal area should fix this - maybe.  What do you think???  I'm stuck on this one.

Please help!!!

Shiny Birthday

This one is bright and cheery. I stamped and cut out a flower, then clear embossed it to make it shiny.  I used my pinking shears to make the grass and a florish for the flower stems.  I colored (with my markers) the teeny flowers on the florish before I stamped.  Then I used pearls for the centers of all the flowers.  A little ribbon - two kinds- that hold the "HAPPY...".  I used my new Slice to cut out the frame that the ribbon goes through.  I popped the flower up with dimensionals.  The inside says "Birthday". 

Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy this.

Hearty Love

Here's a Valentine's card that I hadn't posted.  This one is pretty simple - some cutting out (heart), a little stamping (heart and sentiment)  and then assembling it.  A button with a teeny bow, ribbon and some DP was all I needed to complete this really simple and delightful card.

Hope you enjoy it and thanks for dropping in!!

Birthday Wish Tri-Shutter

Sorry for being MIA for the past month (how time flies), but you know how life gets in the way.  This is one that I made a while ago

and thought I'd better photograph it before I gave it away.  This tri-shutter card is all done in the earth tones: card stock, ink, embellishments and DP.  Notice my sparkly butterfly in the second photo - love him!!

Hope you enjoy this and stay tuned for more tomorrow.
