A Rose By Any Other Name

With my extra long weekend I decided to get some coloring done with  my Copics.  I created this thank you card to keep in my stash when I need a card and don't have time to make one.

Copics Used:

YR20, YR23, YR24

G40, G94, G99

For the sentiment I used Gina K All Occasion Tags with the coordinating Spellbinders Grommet Tags dies.  I then layered it over an embellishment cut from the Spellbinders Fancy Tags Two set.

Come Softly

It's been quite a while since I devoted some solid time to my Copic coloring.  And I'll be honest---I've really missed it!  There's something very soothing about coloring an image; no reason to rush and no one to tell you it's wrong.  And just when I needed a push to get back to my calm place, I discovered a brilliant artist by the name of Ching Chou Kuik.  Her designs are available through Sweet Pea Stamps and could not be more amazing or fun to color.  This image is titled Come Softly and I felt inclined to color it as such.  Lately my favorite go-to color combo has been aqua, teal and brown and I adore how it looks on this card.

Skin:  E11, E00, 0 (cheeks R11)

Lips:  RV11, RV10

Eyes:  B16, B14, B000, W1, W0

This cute little rosette was made by hand sewing a strip of fabric (1.5"x6") along the long edge and pulling it tightly. I then used hot glue to adhere it to the card and keep the two ends held together. It was topped off with a small gem glued to the middle.
