Mad for Markers Design Team Call

Mad for Markers (a great place to get Copic Markers online) is having a Design Team Call.

I have only recently discovered Copic Markers, but I LOVE them, and I’d love to get to play with the Mad for Markers team.

I need to link some of my favourite/best Copic Colourings, so here they are below :)

Check out the Mad for Markers Blog for details.

Card Patterns Sketch 81

I found this wonderful blog the other day, with Card Patterns, and a weekly competition that you can enter.
I have decided to play along . . .
Here is this weeks sketch . . .

Click on the sketch, or go to Card Patterns to check out how to enter your own card.  There is a great prize up for grabs from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps for one lucky winner.
Anyway . . . here is my entry . . . what do you think? I'd love you to leave a comment.


I just love these Magnolia stamps.  This one is two stamps, and I used the masking technique to make my Tilda look like she is sitting on the bench . . . cool hey!
I am also really enjoying using the feathering technique to blend two different colours.  I have done this again on her dress.  Here is a close up . . .


For those of you that are interested, the Copic Colours used in this card are:

Face: E00, E02, R20 (for cheeks)
Dress & Socks: G00, B00 (blended by feathering)
Collar & Underskirt: YR04, YR07
Flower: RV10, RV23, YR7
Hair: E33, E35, E57
Bench: E35, E37, E57, 100

The card was made using:
Papers: Kaisercraft Hippy Girl Collection
Doily: sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Foerst Green
Inked Paper Edges: Versamagic Aquatic Splash
Sentiment: Studio G Dollar Stamps
Miscellaneous Brads and flowers.

Have a great day.
I have some more cards to upload for you later :)
Cheers
