Copics Color Challenge #11 and CPC Magazine

Once again, I finally get to do a Copics Color Challenge! And this time, I have ALL the colors! Also, since I am using a scripture for the sentiment, I am going to load this on my Christian Paper Crafts Magazine gallery. WooHoo! So, the colors were Y08 Acid Yellow, E31 Brick Beige and BG13 Mint Green. I also added E57 Light Walnut, BG11 Moon White, RV11 Pink, and RV14 Begonia Pink.
I used a digi from Grab-a-Doodle-Do that I just LOVE! Isn't she cute? She is from a set called "Fun and Girly" that has several images to choose from. I started with a yellow CS from the Kalediscope Value Pack by The Paper Company and used the turquoise from the same pack as well. The DP is by Kelly Pannaci for Sandy Lion.

I colored this little beauty and added some hightlight with a Sakura GellyRoll White gel pen. Not sure about this, but I guess it is ok. I shadowed around her with C1 and C3 and the stems on the flowers are G24. I trimmed her and popped her up on foam dots for dimension.

The flowers and brads are Spare Parts, and I colored the yellow flowers with my Y08 because it was too light. I think it worked well.

The sentiment is from the ColorBok "Everyday Blessings" Vellum Quote Pack, which I layered on white CS, attached with Basic Grey Urban Prairie brads and popped up on more of the yellow CS.
I followed the color scheme thru to the inside, using another sentinment from the same vellum pack and more brads. I made sure to leave lots of white space for writing.

I really like how this one turned out, it feels really light and happy to me! Plus, Psalm 118 is one of my favorites!

Blessings!

A Surprise, A cute Easter Digi from Grab-A-Doodle-Do and a Cliff-Hanger!

Look at the beautiful card I got from Barb over at Made For Keeps! Isn't she gorgeous? I was #5 in her First Five game and she said she would send me something that she made herself. I have to tell you, when she saw this, my 12yo DD screamed...snatched it out of my hands...and ran away! LOL But, at least I have this photo to admire....go give Barb some bloggy love, she deserves it!
This is the card I made for Mel-Mel, my niece. She also has a birthday close to Easter and this cute little digi-chick from Grab-A-Doodle-Do seemed like a good match!

I colored him with Copics, but not on my fave paper...I was out. I will probably do another one of him on better paper, but he still turned out really sweet! I am still working on shading, but I think I am getting better.

The flowers are K & Co, the gemstone brads are Spare Parts and all the CS, DP, Ribbon, etc is from my stash. The sentiment is a vellum sticker and I used my Cricut (Yaaayyy!!!) to make the little speech bubble layers.

Want a sneak peek at what I am posting tomorrow? Ok, then....Here it is!

Can you guess? Leave me a comment and tomorrow when I post the whole card, I will choose a winner from the guesses left in the comments to receive a surprise from me!

Blessings!

Happy Monday and Timmy Turtle says "Hi!"

Is this guy just the cutest thing or what? Timmy Turtle is a digi-stamp you can get over at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps (along with a bunch of other great stuff!) My friend Wen asked me if I had any cute turtle images I could color for her, and I immediately thought of Timmy. I colored him with Copics, popped up his eyes and hat, highlighted with Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen and used Glossy Accents on his eyes, nails and some of his spots. I have been keeping him under wraps because he was a surprise for Wen and I could not post him until she recieved him in the mail. This morning I received word that Timmy arrived safe and sound and is now hanging out on her computer. I think maybe he needs a girlfriend, what do you think?

This adorable little Easter Anya is a birthday card for my neice Morgan. Her birthday is really close to Easter and I thought she would like this image. Morgan has the prettiest red hair and this Anya is the spitting image (maybe a little short, though! hehehe) See the faux-turquoise half-beads in the top-left corner? I have had these forever! I kept wanting to use them but never found quite the right card. I think they were just the thing for this one.

I colored her with Copics, paper pieced her dress and the eggs in the basket, which I popped up on foam dots for some added dimension. I also embellished with Glossy Accents, and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. I .used my EK Success Photo Corner punch and Basic Grey Urban Prairie brads to embellish the image

The flowers are Spare Parts, paper and silk, with Spare Parts Gemstone brads in the center. I used my MS Lace Doily BP on the accent CS. All the CS and DP is from my stash. I am pretty sure it is all DCWV from Joann. The sentiment is a vellum sticker and the eyelet is K&Co.

I followed my theme on the inside, with another fun vellum sticker. I also made an envelope with matching yellow CS.

I will post more tomorrow, including the card I made for Morgan's sister, Melanie (Mel-Mel to me) I used a digi-stamp from Grab-A-Doodle-Do for it. If you have not seen her digis, RUN, don't walk over there and get some for yourself!

Blessings!
