Hello crafters,

I think she will love it.

For this card I am following FTHS Sketch #154 

Here are the Copics I used!

Snow girl & Challenge 153

Hello crafters!  

I am here with another digital image from FTHS - her name is SNOW GIRL!!!  

FTHS has a Project 100 Snowmen and I am loving every minute of it.  

This card will be the second entry I submit to the 

weekly sketch inspiration Challenge #153, 

my first entry was not accepted since I reaaaally let my imagination go 

when it came time to follow the sketch.  

I am really hoping this one does the trick!!

I used Copic markers to color this cute digital stamp. 

I colored the image a while ago and saved it for a special occasion. 

So the colors are not fresh in my mind. Sorry! I do know I used a ton of clear wink of stella. Check out the second image below - it sparkles!

I have a real hard time working with patterned papers, 

I really tried to make this one work. 

Maybe that is yet another way these weekly challenges inspire and challenge me!  

I do love the circle vellum touch - though not my idea.  

I actually saw it in one of the FTHS designer team members' card and loved it!! 

In case you were wondering... I fussy cut the image using my Scan N Cut 2.

 And I practice my coloring with Kit and Clowder - awesome online classes.  

Check them out too!

Have a good night! 

Have a happy long weekend if you are in the USA!

Adiós,

Tropical Chick card & NEW: color tagging cards!

For today's card I am following the From the heart stamps Challenge #153  

I am, as you know, in love with her designs. This is my first bird image from her, but she has plenty!!  I decided to use this since a good friend of our family is retiring...hi Roger!!  And I will be using this card to wish him a happy retirement! 

As usual, I used Copic markers to color the digital image.  

I have written the colors below.

But first....

Whats new on my blog?  I decided to tag the Copic color combos (as the color + CC), so that if someone is looking for a specific color combo they can just click and get right to it.  

Many times, I can't even remember which colors I put together :)

I hope this new addition is something you use a lot!  

Drop me a comment if you found it useful!

Have fun coloring...here are the colors I used!

G29, 99, 94, 82 (Tagged as Green CC)

RV 69, 66, V12

E 49, 39, 37, 35

Y35, 19, 13

This card will have a Green CC tag, meaning Green Copic Combo.

The green paper is Mossy Meadow from Stampin Up (retiring on 5/31/16 - so hurry up!) This color is perfect for the deeper greens and works well with the YG97 colors too.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Adiós,
