This go around I did not make as many cards as I would have liked. I made 30 cards. All the images were colored using the copic sketch markers. The more I use them the more I enjoy them, love how I am able to shade, but still has a long way to go.
I was working on my cards for my card swapper group for the swap in July and had some left over flowers and butterflies and I decided to make 3 cards using the leftover materials. All the images were colored using the copic makers, and the center of the yellow flower has flower soft. I really like the top card best.
Back in 1989 my sisters, and I used to paint on wood cut outs at one time all of us had our own saws. This is coke bottles that I painted and had hanging in my kitchen for a long time, then they were taking down and store away until the other day when I was doing some digging.
My favorite cards in this bunch is the raccoon and sunset cards. Again more copic maker work. I love how the pen flow so easy about the paper, and the pens are refillable.
we colored a stamped flower image with the copic markers, the flower stem and flower pot are die cuts from the cricut. Used flower soft on the center of the flower. On my flower I added a stamped image butterfly colored with copic markers, and made dirt in the flower pot using my flower soft.
For national scrapbook day my online group "the Crop room" had several challenge posted. This was a card sketch challenge.
here is the 2nd layout that I did for the 12 x12 swap for TAC. The carrot house, carrot, and 2 bunnies are paper piecings that I made. the eggs are stamped images that I colored with my copic markers.
TAC is having a 2 page layout swap. Everyone that is participating makes as many 2 page layouts as they want. I choose to do 4 - 2 page layouts. This is my Mardi Gras theme.
I found the jester, and musical horm images on the internet copied them to a word document adjusted to the size I wanted. I colored both pieces with my copic sketch markers. I used 3 different circle punches to make the beads at the bottom of the page. I inked the edges of the large green beads, but used may copic makers to highlight the smaller beads.
Happen to run across the template for a tea cup shape card while I was blog hopping. It was a perfect card to see to one of my friends that I had to thank. She is a collector of tea cups.
