Birth Announcement

Birth announcements!  My first grand baby is due next month.  The image is from Bugaboo.

Thank you card

This is the thank you card I did for my Bunny from the Bunny Swap.  Thank you Febe, you did a great job.  This stamp is from Penny Black.  It is called Daydream.  I received the stamp, some copic markers, nibs for markers, a copic atyou spica pen, and a dvd to help me learn more about how to effectively use my copic markers.

Easter Cards for Copic Crafter Group

In my Copic Crafter group we did a Bunny Swap.  We used Oozak.com for Bunny coordination.  Rusty did a great job for us.  We did cards for his 2 children.  These are the cards I did for his family.  The girl is from My Favorite Thing Pure Innocence.  I love these stamps.  The boy is from the new spring release at allthatscraps.com.    The eggs stamp is from Hambostamps.com (I cut them apart).  The ribbon is just some Easter ribbon I picked up at Walmart.  I colored the eggs with my ultra fine tip Bic Markits and the rest with my Copics.  I had a lot of fun doing this swap.  So many beautiful cards were made by all the participants.

Whipper Snapper Designs

I just got in the cutest stamps.  I ordered 2 sets from Whipper Snapper Designs.  One was a boy set and the other is a girl set.  I just love this little guy. 

Onesies for the Grandbaby

I have watched a lot of tutorials on how to color on fabric.  I'm not very happy with the way his face turned out.  I will probably redo it later on another onesie later.

I liked this one better.  The coloring on the face turned out much better.

This one came out pretty good too.  I am pleased with my first attempts.

I tried something new!

This adorable guy is from The Greeting Farm.  The sentiment is also a part of the set I just purchased.  I have seen a few tutorials on how to do background coloring.  Since I really don't like the white backgrounds I usually have and it is so time consuming for me to use my copics to color the background (I hate the streaking so I end up going over it a lot) and I use a lot of ink with my copics, I tried one of the techniques I have seen.  I used a stippling brush and 2 of my numerous ink pads (I have so many).  I went around the image with a sky blue and then went over it again with sunshine yellow.  I love the way the colors combined to look like I had also used green.  They blended well and I am really pleased with the result.

Copic Crafter OAMR

These cards are for our OAMR (once a month rak) group.

Both images are digital images from Sugar Nellie.
Ribbon, papers and other embellishments are from my huge stash of things I need to use.
I used my copics to color the images and then I used some gel pens I picked up at Big Lots to add
some sparkle.
