I am SO excited to have another round of copic fun tonight!  I have been coloring up a storm - and lovin it of course.   This is a card I made from some of my playing...

 

Isn't he CUTE!  I went outside the lines a little on top of his hump - but oh well!  I LOVE this color - it is in the Copic Caboodle set E - Blue Calypso.  Paired with this slate grey bazzill is just delish!  I added a versamark Edge Designs to the bottom edge of the card to simulate the waves and then stamped my greeting on top with Clud White VersaMagic ink.

***Copic Combo***
Whale - T2, 5 and 7
Water - BG72, 75 and 78

We are gonna have fun in class tonight - wish you could come....

 
We are focusing on TAC Copic Caboodle sets D and E because those are the 2 sets that my club members have purchased so far.  D is great for Halloween - which we did alot of last month in our Copic Coloring Happy Hour.   I am amazed at how great all the girls are doing with their markers even after 1 class! 

This weekend I will be scrapping and cardmaking on National Cardmaking day October 2nd - in Wamego at Celebrations!  We are having a 12 hour crop - 10Am-10PM.  If you are in the area stop in and see what we are up to!

I have lingered on this sketch for so long because I was actually using it for a swap that I am in - but I can finally release it! Not that it is some big hairy secret or anything!

 

Be sure to leave your linky and grab the code for your blog too!

I was inspired for this card by a card you can see here.  I just loved the way the butterfly popped in the orange on the blue green background.    That set is one of my fav's - Happily Grateful - the leafy background alone is so useful!  I embossed the ivory card with an impressabilities - Floral and Stone - love that added texture.  To get the graduated color from Cote D'azure to Burnt umber I just used 2 different sponges and started from opposite ends.  I like how soft it is and it does create a nice background for the butterfly.  I colored the butterfly with 2 copic markers - Y38 and YR68.

So the specials are all over tomorrow people!   If you did not get the mini of Happily grateful you are gonna be sorry and wishing you had - it is just $2.95 with your $30 purchase so you can get the big set and a few extra's and then get the little one too!   If one of your other goodies is Swooping Sentiments - you get a FREE Sydney Circle Album kit too! 

The $75 starter kit for new angels is a specTACular deal!  You get 5 stamp sets and 3 packs of paper plus all the business supplies and me as an upline!  :-)  If you have one party every 3 months then you meet the minimums and can purchase all your supplies at a discount (received in commission check twice monthly)  You only have til tomorrow though so if you are thinking about it get on it girl!  You can download the paperwork here!

Class 2 of TAC copic coloring class advanced techniques- what a blast! This was the second excersize- coloring fur. New stamp from the fall supplement!

Shabby Chic Feel Better Flowers - plus blog candy for your opinion!

I made this card a few weeks agao when I had that card making spree on a sunday - I made some super cute cards that day if I do say so myself!  This one I have been hanging onto because I LOVE it so much!  I CASED it from somewhere but of course I waited so long now I can't remember from where!  So if this card looks familiar - please let me know so I can link to you!  I was on a dictionary page kick for awhile - ok so I am not over it!  I still have lots of pages left - and just got some yummy sheet music too (thanks Helen!)  Anyway - here is the card...

 
I know I know - it is the bomdigity huh!?!?  LOL!  Here is an upclose...

 
The flowers are embossed in white on black cardstock - then I freehand cut the stems and leaves out of the green Sands of Time pattern paper.  I stamped one of the Victorian Elements onto a dictionary page with Noir Palette ink and inked the edges for an aged toile look.  I added the strip of Bazzill Border jumbo scallop to the bottom edge - LOVE that stuff so much I cannot bring myself to use it very often - KWIM??  It is an illness...

Did someone say Blog Candy??  Yes I did say Blog Candy!  I was just curious and wanted to get as many opinions as possible - so I thought I would bribe you all!  I have TONS of extra rubber - NEW stamp sets from the past and present - that I will pack up into grab bags - one for every 25 comments.  So to increase the odds be sure to tell your friends to come on over and let me know what they think.  k?

So the question is:  Which do you prefer - When looking at projects on a blog we all want to know what they used right?  Well would you prefer to have the items used on a card in a nice tidy little blurb - or scattered thru a paragraph with directions?  So like I did above (scattered through the paragraph)  R like this tidy little blurb below:

Card for Sketch #126

I started with Lilly Anna Cardstock and Pattern Papers and wanted to use the Pretty Posies stamp set from the Angel Company. I colored my little posie with Copic Markers and them embossed a different posie on the light pink piece with Irridescent Embossing Powder. I love the look of this with the pink! The ribbon is an old piece I have had calling my name - just had to use it! I added the piercing around the top edge of the centerpiece to give it a little more umph since i didn't use a POP DOT! OMG a card without a pop dot it is like a dinosaur!

Things got a little hectic there for a while and I am hoping that this week will allow me to get back on track!  I have a pit of a studio to get straightened up, videos to make and lots of future events to plan!

This weekend I am looking forward to another great Copic class at The Angel Company!  This is their advanced techniques class and I can't wait!  I also have a wedding to go to - for which I am to make pumpkin rolls.  They are doing "Family Favorites" deserts - and I got elected.  They are pretty yummy!  I will also have my own Copic Coloring  Happy Hour on September 30th - to pass on the things I learn about coloring with these fabulous markers. 

I made a swap card for my team meeting yesterday that turned out pretty cute!  I used one of the upcoming stamp sets from our Fall Supplement which is due out October 1st.  This set is available in the Thousand Thanks Special preview pack of stamps from the Fall supplement - I love them ALL!!

I just LOVE the new Scor- Buddy!  It is so handy and even fits in the center of my Tote-ally Cool Tote!  That rocks when things just "fit" ya know?  I scored the diagonal Latice pattern and then rubbed over top with the VersaMark Pad to bring it out a bit.

The color is a little off in the pictures - the green/blue is actually a darker teal color - the first picture catches it the closest but even it is off a bit.   So imagine it a darke blue k?  :-)

I have been hearing that the Grab Bags for $10 are just PHENOMENAL value - so if you want to get one get me your order ASAP - because they are going fast.  There have been reports (and I have seen some) that there are Bind It All's, Tray Chic's, Big Shot Accessories, Cardstocks, papers, Mini Books and albums - just TONS of great stuff!  You can go right to the shopping cart and order yours HERE.  I reccomend getting a few sheets of Creative Cling if you get the $5 grab bag or the $50 surprise box because both have a TON of stamps without cushion in them.
