Thanks

Good afternoon!

I finally had time to play with my new Copic markers. Yes it's about time you might be thinking ha ha. The Almond Blossoms stamp from Impression Obsession was the perfect stamp to practice coloring with Copic. I really love the blending made with the Copic markers, much more than with my Spectrum Noir markers.

I added some Stickles inside the flowers and cut 3 times the word Thanks to make it pop up.

Thank you card

Hello!

Long time I didn't publish any craft project... I'm actually already working on my daily december album ha ha!! I'll publish some pages later. So for today, let's forget about Christmas and focus on sun! It's such a sunny day today! Summer means gardening for me so I did this flower card. Of course, the background had to be yellow for the sun! The flowers were colored with Smooch ink and added some Stickles on the middle for more sparkle! I love using Smooch ink, such a beautiful effect. Background was made with Izink inks.

Stamp (Almond blossoms) and dies (All-in-one frames Rectangle 2, Greetings bottom edgers) are from Impression Obsession.

I glued my leaves and voilà!

Thank you card

Hello,

I just finished my last thank you card for a friend. She sent me a lot of tomatoes and pepper seeds lately  so I thought a thank you card with flowers would be perfect for her. I used the same stamp as last time, Delicate Blossoms and the Butterflies stamp/die set from HA. I colored the stamp with Spectrum Noir markers. For my butterflies, I first inked a glossy cardstock with 3 alcohol inks. Next time, I will use colors that contrast more. I then added some Stickles on their wings and Liquid pearl on their body. I made the drops with Irresistible inks.
