Color Me Copic - Challenge #1

Color Me Copic is having their first challenge...to use black and white! Ooh, and the fabulous Rachel has an excellent tutorial on her amazing technique. I definitely had a lot of fun doing this challenge, and I chose Swiss Pixies Ladybug Nora for my card. She can be found at ATS.

used a recent ATS sketch...

and came up with this...

All the b/w paper is from my dd's old papers for paper clothes, was lucky to find scraps that were big enough to use on the card. Also used an image background from Bugaboo stamps (and they're having a great sale right now). Couldn't resist using my stickles, only a touch on her wings and headband! and a shiny ladybug to finish! The flower is made with two little flower punches, and used MS butterfly punch...wish i had a smaller butterfly punch too!

Wedding Cake...

I was on the search for the perfect image for a wedding card, but just couldn't find one. I adored the Magnolia set, but if I ordered them it would be too late for me to get the card done...as you know, I'm a last minute kinda of gal! So at the last minute (again!), I decided to draw my own wedding cake! There were three images that inspired me...

pearl heart & swirls  

So this is what I came up with...

and my finished card...

Not quite what I wanted...I couldn't fnd my stash of purple flowers that I had leftover from some wedding favors I made years ago. I was running out of time, so just used whatever I could find. I have another wedding coming up, so I'll be using the image again...

Believe....

When I saw this beautiful mermaid designed by Amy Y, I just had to have her! Pearl Tidepool & Seamoor...what perfect names. They are so so adorable!! This is my first time trying the monochrome technique, I chose purple and it so much fun to do!  Following the ATS and Tamiko's challenges, here's what I did.

When I finished coloring Pearl I thought, why did I color her face purple??? Then I lightened it up with the blenderless pen, and it turned out better. Added stickles shine and liquid pearl to pretty her all up! Flowers are from Petaloo...after a long search thru my stuff, I finally found some glass beads that I added to the center of the flowers. Ribbon and sentiment stamp are from Michael's and dp is from my old stuff. For someone that just got into cardmaking, I have alot of old stuff! lol! I bought alot of extras when I did party and wedding favors...now they come to good use!

Thanks for stopping by! ;)

Hello Miko...

Okay, I must work on getting my cards done earlier!  I just submitted this to Club Anya's WCW color challenge...it may be too late but I wanted to finish it anyway because the color combo is one of my favs! The fabulous sketch is from Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge here. Mercy makes absolutely magnificent sketches and amazing gorgeous cards!
