Aall and Create #11 Card

#thedailymarker30day @kathyrac hosting this is so fun and I am loving discovering great images like this one by Aall and Create called #11. Designed by Fiona Paltridge. (the image is no longer available at Simon Says Stamp but others are here.) I used my Copic Sketch markers: B0000, B11, B23, R20, R24, R29 after stamping with Memento Tuxedo black ink on my Misti. I blended with Ranger Mermaid Lagoon, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides on the background. After making it into a card with yellow Bazzill cardstock, I then added Tonic Nuvo Crystal drops in Red Berry, and Ebony Black, even added it to the image like the heart and some of the stripes. I wanted it to add some dimension and interest. This is so fun to color!!!

Newton's Nook Cuppa Cactus Card

I just love the perfect cup of coffee from the adorable Newton's Cuppa Cactus which I stamped with Memento Tuxedo black using my MISTI tool. I wanted this to have more dimension so I used Strathmore Artist Papers in their Illustration Board to do just that. It has a thick base but you must be careful coloring with Copic Markers which can be absorbed and colors run more easily. May Arts twine in natural color was then wrapped three times around the navy cardstock base, and tied with a double bow and then Nuvo Crystal Drops in English Mustard added for that extra texture as well.
Copic  .Markers included: YG63, YG67, YG21, R39, R29, Y13, Y17, B21, B28, B18.

Stamplorations Framed Tea Cups Card

                                     

Good morning and this is Day 2 of the Coffee Lovers Bloghop and am using Super Sponsor, Stamplorations image. This is Stamplorations Framed Tea Cups stamp which I had a blast coloring!!! The Copic Markers are : Y11, Y13, Y32, Y35, Y38, BG10, BG11, BG13, RV25, RV29, E50. E53. The image is just so fun and a joy to play with!!
The pre-made card has a flap so I adhered the image to that flap and put a cream colored piece behind it to write a note on. I added The Cat's Pajamas sentiment and made a flap which holds the image in place and sealed the edge of the flap with the pearl. Nuvo Crystal Drops in two colors and Ranger glossy accents were added as well to add some dimension. I added matching pattern paper from my stash to finish it. Simple and so colorful!! Enjoy the hop!!

Spring-Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop I'm #264

Coffee Lover's Bloghop

To start off with my first for this Spring + Summer Coffee Lover's Bloghop, I chose Newton's Cuppa Cactus which I stamped with Memento Tuxedo black using my MISTI tool. I used Strathmore plain cardstock ATC paper. I then colored using my Copic Markers: YG63, YG67, YG21, RV29, RV14, RV13, E50, E53, W1, W3 which all matched the Basic Grey pattern papers I had chosen. This collection is called South Pacific and the flower paper is Tahiti. Then Nuvo Crystal Drops in black were added to have a finished look.

The front panel was then glued down using the BG papers onto a folded 4.5" x 5.25" card made of a bright green cardstock.

I fussy cut the flower and leaf and added them under my ATC piece for some interest.

                  Don't forget that today the Spring + Summer Coffee Lover's Bloghop starts! My card is #86 if you are looking for it!
