A Little Mo Manning and Make it Crafty Love

Hello my blogging friends!  You've probably thought I  threw in the towel by now since it has been forever since I have posted anything, huh?  Well, I am still here!  Life just happened....you know family, teaching Copic classes, then the holidays came and it all became a big blur!  I promise with the New Year to be much better about posting my coloring even if I don't yet have them made into a card or project yet so you at least have something to look at!

So, without further adieu, I give you one of my favorite projects I created for my in-laws to give as a gift for their friends for a 50th wedding anniversary.  I used Mo Manning's (Mo's Digital Pencil) Soldier Boy and Shirley digi stamps and layered them in Photoshop Elements with Make it Crafty's Tree of Love digi stamp to create the scene.  I also added in the initials of the couple on the tree to personalize it for the recipient.

 

On the inside I added a string of pearls and shear ribbon to accent the center.  

Here is the Boxelope I created for the card to be presented in. I added a chipboard key that I covered in white crackle paint, added a WOC rose, some pearls and a tag to finish off the shear white bow.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Mo's Digital Challenge - Anything Goes

One Crazy Stamper - Anything Goes

Totally Gorjuss - Anything Goes With Ribbon

Crazy 4 Challenges - C4C167

Thanks for stopping by and reading through this long post.  Hope to see you again soon!  

Big Copic Hugs!

1st Place in Western Washington Fair (Puyallup Fair)

Hello my fellow bloggers!  I have some great news to share today!  A few weeks ago I entered a card I created and colored with my Copics into the Western Washington Fair aka the Puyallup Fair and guess what?  I WON!  I got 1st place in the card category!  Yippee!  I have posted the card previously but have a picutre below of the card on display at the fair with the pretty blue ribbon (haha!).  The picture quality is not the best because it is in a glass display case and there was a lot of glare.  Anyway....just wanted to share my good news!

Angelina's Balloons

Hello my fellow Copic lovers!  What a gorgeous day!  I totally forgot to upload this card last week so I figured I'd get it on here now while I am thinking about it.  This is a digital image from Mo Manning called Angelina's Balloons.  She was colored with Copics as usual and embellished with lots of goodies from Wild Orchid Crafts.  I will have to come back and update with the Copic colors I used as I don't have those in front of me right now.  She was such fun to color! 

Here is a peek at the inside of the card. 

Hope you all have a wonderful evening!

Big Copic Hugs!
