Online Card Class - Copic Colouring for Card Makers Day 1 & 2.

Hello everyone!

I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything on my blog.  There were some family things I had to deal with and as soon as that was all taken care of and I finally had time to post on my blog again, my hubby's computer wasn't working.  So...with that said it's now up and running!  Thank you for being patient.

On to the newest Online Card Class that is "Copics for Card Makers"!  How exciting is that!!!!
I think I'm safe to say that I am NOT the only one who has been waiting for this class for a very long time.  It's still not too late to join if you are interested.

So for the first week will be about technique and getting used to what your Copics can do.  Sandy Allnock, Kristina Werner & Jennifer McGuire and guests are doing an amazing job at showing us that Copics don't have to be scary!

Here is what I've been working on the past few days...

Day 1,  I love the colours of the present now that I look at it from here.

Day 2...

I'm still having computer issues so I will add links to the teachers' websites in my next post (hopefully!)

That's all for today.  Stay tuned for Day 3 & 4 coming tomorrow!

Thanks for stopping by!

OCC Day 5 & 6 Watercolour for Card Makers

Hello,  I'm back with Day 5 & 6 of class.

I have to say I am REALLY enjoying this class.  I'm learning so much and having a great time being creative with watercolouring.

Here is my card for Day 5,  or should I say attempt!  I thought I would try to do Swarup's card and I now know this may be a bit more advanced than I though but will definatly come back to try it again.  I know, it's not pretty in any way, shape or form but it was fun to try.  So for day 5 I had left it as is and moved on to day 6.

Here is my card for Day 6 card.  I was inspired I guess from all three designers and their techniques in some way.

This card I used the metal watercolour paint again for the sky that I got from Amazon and used the 140lb watercolour paper I mentioned before and the brown was from my watercolour tubes from Reeves.  For the bunnies (Mama Elephant) I used the Artist Loft watercolour set from Michaels and Recollections kraft card stock.   I heat embossed the sentiment with Judikins detail clear embossing powder and that is from the same stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by and see you on Monday with more cards!

Thanks for all you do - card.

Hello again!

Wow!  Three posts in the same morning!!!  Thank goodness for holidays and a cloudy day!

Here is a card I made for one of the ladies in my church...shhhh I haven't given her the card yet!  ; )

I used Recollections kraft card stock and the SSS All seasons tree die.  I love this die but it is a labour of love as I had to take about two days to figure our a shim so that it would cut out all the little leaves but I finally got it and I love it.  I cut the tree out of three different colours of card stock and paper pieced them on to make it like a fall tree.  Totally worth it, don't you think?

I used the SSS stamp set "Inside and Out Sayings" designed my Kristina Werner.  I didn't show the inside of this card and I wrote a personal message but I love the sentiments the stamp set comes with.

I stamped the sentiment with CTMH Cocoa ink.

Hope you enjoyed the card as I enjoyed making it.

Thanks for stopping by and see you soon.
