Monday card sketch #125

I know I know I have not even done my card for last week - but it is monday people and I have a new sketch for you!  SO give it a try, join the blog hop and leave your linky and add the blurb to your blog too - it is supe simple with the McLinky!  So here is this weeks sketch:

I had the MOST fantabulous last three days!  I was excited to be able to attend the Copic Coloring class that TAC was offering in Salina on friday.  I had NO idea how awesome it was going to be!  I am SO excited for what I have instore for our next Copic Coloring Happy Hour!  (Thursday Sept 30th!)

From the class I headed out to Living Water Ranch for my Oz-some Weekend - and it was!  I am SO blessed to have such PHENOMENAL women on my team!   We had each brought a project to share with everyone and they were all amazing.  What creativity they all posess.  And food - OMG!  reports are the average weight gain from the weekend is a minimum of 3 pounds.  LOL!   We had a card swap and I was SO jealous to not be able to participate in the Gift exchange.    We did manage to take a dip in the pool - but it was a quick one because we all wanted to get back to coloring!  I did the projects and then mostly played with my Copic materials from class.  I think I got my African American skin combo finally too!  I still have LOTS of work to do to get facial coloring though as I seem to be overworking it and I lose my lights.  I guess I will have LOTS more fun practicing!

This week I have stamping night out on Thursday - and I have no idea what I am doing yet!  :-)  Just kidding I actually have some things in my bag of tricks I have been saving for fall.  I hope to get both card sketches done this week too - so check back to see what I came up with and be sure to share your ideas too!

It is the last few days for the August specials - so be sure you get them while you can!  You can click right on the buttons and it takes you to a shoipping cart where you can order and have them sent right to your door!

  
 

Looky looky- results of awesome TAC coloring class!

So we had an awesome day friday coloring at the TAC copic coloring class and I have not stopped coloring for long since. I am still out at the ranch with my angel team having so much fun and wanted to share my favorite coloring yet! I used my scribble background in B0000 and B000.

What do you think? The image is a sneak peak to the new realeases coming from The Angel Company in october.

***Copic Combos***
leaf and vine: YG95, YG97
pumpkin:
stem:

here is an upclose of the pumpkin coloring - also see the pierced line around the edge of the brown piece - nice finishing touch.

The next card I made the ivory card more distressed by stamping the script background every which way then inking the edges.

Another close up - I like the layering of the shapes under the pumpkin - a scallop circle on top of the labels 4 shape.

And the last card - a little more simple but still nice!

I am so excited to share today's card!  I was playing around with the Impressabilites and some of the DCWV white cored papers - and came up with this most luscious yummy background!  

I started with a piece of Limepeel green and I ran it through my big shot with the Flourishes Impressability.  Then I sanded the surface a bit to bring out the texture a little more.  Then I got a hankerin' for  some shabby chich old world feel - and I sponged the edges with Burnt Umber - using the soft sponging method where you rub in a circular motion - but start OFF the piece first.  The Pearl accents just add the perfect toch don't you think?  These ones are from the Clear and Pearl Gem collection - which I am gonna have to get a few extra boxes I am grabbing them for everything lately.

Sweet Emma - can't stop the copic's!

***Copic Combos***
skin: E00, E01, E11, R02
grass: YG93, YG95, YG97
hair: Y21, YR31
flowers: YR31, YR23 and R20, R22
sky: BG10 and blender

This one is another with my scribble background.  This time I used BG10 instead of the 00's because I didn't want it to class with the subtle muted colors in Emma.

I love the little tags in the Emma Collection too - they make great accents with your greeting on cards and great journaling tags for scrapbooking.  Tag Tidbits is the perfect set to pair up with those tags too!  It is one of those sets that you just grab when you need little words - there are 36 different phrases and words in this set for just $10.95!  What a deal!

Don't forget about all the Augst Specials!

  
 

Birthday funny card - my scribble background video too!

I colored this lil lady a while ago - and posted a peak at here for ou to see my copic coloring that I was just beginnning to "get".  Well I finally put her on a card - and I just LOVE it!  The greeting suits her perfectly!

***Copic Color Combo***
Skin tones : E000, E00, E01 plus R02 for cheeks
Dress: B91, B95, B99
Blue sky:  B00 and BG02
Grass: YG03 and YG23
Shoes:  E31 and E33.

I just love her little hissy fit!   I want to come up with some other approprate words to go with her and have them made into personalized stamps too.  Like "Don't be a baby, It's only a birthday!"  If you have any good ideas leave a comment so we can all be inspired!

This is a good example of my scribble background.  I start just teeny tiny scibbling around the image - up real close and just barely touching the paper.  I like to make it fade out to nothing so i get light and less the further I get from the image.  I go back over the whole thing the exact same way with my blender pen - with the heavier application to the outside of the image instead.   Check out the video to see it in action - it really is easy if you do not over think it.

I colored the Bazzill Bitty Bloom with My Copic Marker - BG01 to match the CS and background.  I also colored the Acrylic flower - with several coats of YG11 then added the dots with B99.   The pearl center is from the Clear and pearl Gem Collection - and is the perfect touch!

I like the font on the greeting - inside the card it says "The more you have the longer you live!"    There are some funny ones in the Great Greetings set. 

I should be on my way to Ohio today - praying for safe travels, no traffic and fun times with my girl!  I have some more things in store to share from my card bonanza last weekend - next up is my FAVORITE card of the day!  I am featuring the Emma Collection - which will make for a perfect autumn pallette.  Come back and see tomorrow!

She is just too stinkin' cute don't ya think???  I used the Cardstock Caboodles Set B for my color inspiration - the color combos that TAC put together in the Caboodles are specTACular!  I added a little stickles to her hair bows and flowers - just for a little bling of course.

Monday Sketch #122

I hope you get a chance to play with the sketch this week!  If you do be sure to leave a linky and link back to here so we can all check it out!

I spent half the day in my studio Saturday and most of the day Sunday too!  It all started on Friday night when I got the bug to clean off my stamping table.  The goal was to find a place for my basket of Copic Markers - I just had to find the right spot to make those suckers easily accessible since I seem to be coloring everything with them these days.  Once I had it all done then I was eager to mess it up again!   So I made 12 cards!  It was nice to just make cards to make cards - and I was so inspired to make some things out of the thigs I have been coloring.   SO just wait till you see them!! 

Today I am hoping to get some of the rest of my studio cleaned up.  I have this pile of things I need to go thru and have not seen a whole section of my desk for months.  Ugh!  I seriously need an assistant!   More room would be uber helpful too. 

I am heading for Ohio on Wednesday for our family reunion - so hopefully I will get a few posts scheduled for while I am gone.  Laney and I are road tripping just the two of us.   I am really looking forward to the time alone just us girls.  She already asked me if she can sit in the front seat!  Isn't that funny!

Well the kiddos are up and I must get to work!  Should I clean the bathroom first or work in my studio??  Tough choice eh?  I am more likely going to save the studio for later as a treat for getting my chores done!   :-) 

Don't forget to check out all the August specials - there are some spooky good deals!
