CMC Copic Challenge # 38

CMC Copic Challenge #38 was FUZZY-WUZZY, FURRY ANIMAL ANTIC..
I used Meljean's bunny stamp called Fluffy Bunny, colored with Copics.. I tried to mimic fuzzy fur, but this was a hard challenge for me. I've never tried this technique and need a lot more practice till I'm happy with it.. but it was a great idea for a challenge because it got me out of my Copic comfort zone... :)

Saturated Canary challenge # 12 - Doily

This week at Saturated Canary challenge # 12 was to use a doily. I chose this adorable image called Carrington. She is just precious. My daughter loves to read so much that I've made her another bookmark.

Simon Says Stamps, Magnolia-Licious & Papertake Challenges

This week at Simon Says Stamps Challenge the topic was Mothers Day at Magnolia-Licious Challenge the topic was Think Spring, and at Papertake Weekley the challenge was For The Girls, so how fitting that I combine them to create a card for my MIL. I'll have to hide it since our Mothers Day is in May...I just love this little Tilda with butterfly...

7 Kids College Fund Challenge #42 & All That Scraps

Not A Card was #42 challenge at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog and over at All That Scraps the challenge was (MY FAV of course), SPARKLE.... . My DD just started reading a new book so I decided to make a bookmark using the adorable C.C. Designs Swiss Pixie Cupcake Birgitta... She is dreaming of eating all those cupcakes herself....:) I also decided she needed a nice place to sit so I used the Magnolia stamps Arbor. I used a template to draw on the green leaf swirls using green stickles.. It really sparkles...

Ooh La La....

I created this new card for my DD... she has set a goal to visit Paris after graduation... I am so proud of her... She will be tickled pink when she gets this... The papers are from Paper Studio and the collection is called Ooh La La.. The stamps are Magnolia's..

Color Me Creative challenge - White

this challenge needed to use lots of white and just one POP of color. I've always wanted to work with vellum and stamping so it was a great chance to practice... I'm happy how it turned out but I wish I could photograph better.. The ink is a brilliant and really sparkles... I've entered into the Color Me Creative challenge.

Copic Creations Challenge #50 - Yellow

hi there.. For challenge #50 @ Copic Creations Challenge we are using the neglected yellows... I have a friend that I was thinking about and decided to use this rainy day Tilda to make up a "Ain't No Sunshine..." card.. The copics I used were Y04, Y11, Y15 and a touch of T3 to to change the shadows... I could not find a paper in my stash that I liked so I made one using clipart.

Totally RAD card for a Totally RAD Niece

I saw this image at Mo's Digital and just had to have it.. this looks just like my daughter and my niece when they get together.. I made this card up a few weeks early... I LOVE the paper.. Its from a DCWV stack... and of course I used a Penny Duncan "Nestie" Label. LOVE EM ALL... the card is sooo much prettier up close.. it's full of sparkle and glitter... colored with copics... of course.. hope you like..

Happy Birthday Sweetie

My sweetie's Birthday is on Mothers Day this year... He LOVES his new man toy so I found this image and colored it up with copics.. the paper was from my stash so can't rememember who makes it... there is a inside pocket that will hold some cash for him... He is busy painting so will not have time to look at my blog before I get the card to him..
