Copics, Copics Everywhere!

For those of you who like Copics... with a Copic addiction OK! who are totally OBSESSED!!! with Copics like myself...hehehe...here is what I have been up to since my Copics came from the Sweet & Sassy Stamps Copic Club.

This little Easter Anya from The Greeting Farm is soooo cute, that I could not do just one. I had to do a bevy of beauties! I colored all with Copics and detailed with a Sakura Gelly Roll Med white pen. This is the first one, she is a blonde bombshell and she is just too sweet for words.

Here is my Red-Hot, Red-Head Anya! They say (and just WHO are THEY anyway?) that red heads should not wear pink, but I think she is ROCKIN' that hot pink dress! hehehe

I really like the way this one turned out, not really brunette, more of a "bronde", if you know what I mean...She has a real 'girl next door' feel to her.

Last, but certainly not least! Here is a card that my DD and I made together during some much enjoyed mother-daughter time.


I think she did a great job and she really has taken to cardmaking since she realized how much fun it can be. She is a very creative young lady and this is just another extension of her many talents...(not proud of her, am I? hehehe)

Well, let me know what you have been up to so far this week! I love to hear from you all, I am trying my best to visit all the blogs of my 92!!!!! followers! but it is taking me a bit to do it. (my boss actually wants me to WORK, how rude!)

Blessings!

Boys will be Boys! and Color Create Week 7!

This week, I needed some cards for my brother and nephews. All three of them have birthdays this month. Is is just me? Or is it hard to make masculine cards? Well, here is what I came up with... (scroll down for Color Create #7)

This totally adorable little Skater Ian from TGF seemed like the perfect match for my youngest nephew. He also seemed like the perfect card for Cupcake Craft Challenge #31, which is to use brown + either blue, pink or green. I chose green. I colored him with Copics and used DP from a DCWV stack called "The Green Stack." It is 70% recycled and has the coolest colors and designs! (being green is a plus!) The CS is from my stash and the brads are Basic Grey Urban Prairie.

I had no idea for the sentiments, so I turned to my trusty friend, Mr. Google, to help me out. I googled, "Skater slang," and found a website (http://punkskateboarders.tripod.com/id73.htm) that gives all the current skater-speak and the translations for yoinkers like me! hehehe (you will have to check the site to get the meaning!)

I trimmed around Ian and popped him and the sentiment up on foam dots. The sentiments were generated on my computer and printed out.

Here is second Ian I made while I was on a roll! All the supplies were from my stash and I (of course!) colored him with the W1-7 Copics and R27 Cadmium Red.

Isn't this guy just beautiful? I found this stamp on sale at Joann and HAD to make him mine! I am a MAJOR dragon fan! My oldest nephew and I share a love of reading, especially stuff like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, so I thought this would be just right for him. I am also using him as my entry for the Color Create Wk 7 Challenge. The colors are red and green, and the option is to put something with wings. He works well, don't you think?

I colored this handsome guy with Copics and cut him out. The CS and DP are all from my stash, the brads are Basic Grey Urban Prairie again, and the ribbon is from the clearance section at Michael's.

The matting under the sentiments were corner punched with the Heritage punch by Fiskars and the sentiments were punched with a corner rounder by Marvy. (I did not like the way the matting looked with the coloring on the edges, so I went back and colored the whole matting with my E37 Sepia marker. It looks better, but I did not get a pic before I mailed it.)

Here is the sentiment on the inside. These sentiments were found by googling "dragon related quotes." I thought these were too funny and I know my nephew will like them as well!

I popped him up on foam dots for a 3-D look. Now, I just have to make an envie to fit him! I made this a slightly larger card (5x7) to fit this very large image. Sorry for the bad lighting in my pics! I will try to take them earlier in the day next time.

Blessings!
