This was my first attempt at using my Copics. I know it is horrible but you gotta start somewhere right?? The bad thing is, is that I got 3 sets with one of each color in it so it was hard to do shading. I am not happy with the outcome but I have a huge headache and could no longer concentrate....so it is what it is!
The challenge over at Die Cuts R Us was to make a non Valentine's day card with your Valentine's leftovers. I think possibly I took it to far! I used up every scrap that I had which made me happy. I even had a little piece leftover so I used my circle punch to make a paper flower. I used my leftover ribbon from one card and the only papers I had from the other project. Awhile back I made a Love ornament in a box and I had the leftover cut out from the center. So I cut it in half to fulfill the sketch over at Papertake Weekly. I dry embossed some of the scraps with my Cuttlebug using the swiss dot folder for the Just Buggin' challenge. I used an adorable Tilda Magnolia stamp for the Just Magnolia birthday challenge.
The other challenges I submitted this card to are:
Charisma Cardz Birthday card with a twist challenge
C.R.A.F.T. Ribbon & Sparkle challenge
Stamp Scrap Doodle sparkle challenge
Cute Card Thursday Ribbon Challenge
One Stop Craft Pink challenge
Crazy 4 CHallenges 3 Textures challenge
Scrap & Stamp Texture challenge
Lovely card Lisa. Love the image & your flower is so cute. Keep going with the copics they are worth practicing with as the results are great. Good start though, don't be too hard on yourself.
ReplyDeleteYour profile is so moving & has certainly made me value my children as it shows you never know what is going to be sent for you to deal with. Congrats on the birth of your twins. What a fabulous gift they must be.
Sending you hugs

Great job on using up those V-day leftovers. I like your papers and your card design. As for the Copics...you'll get there. It takes practice, practice, practice. Glad you were able to join us this week at DCRU.

I love making things from my scraps and leftovers. You did some amazing things with yours. This is adorable. This was my first time visit to your blog and it touched my heart to hear your story. So happy to hear about the birth of your twins!
ReplyDeleteLisa, I think it's adorable. I think your coloring is FINE! I know what you mean about only having one shade in each color..I did that too. You'll eventually add to your collection and then you'll be able to do the shading. In the meantime, enjoy the Copics you have!! :)
ReplyDeleteLisa you did a great job with your copics! And I LOVE your flower! Beautiful card!
