Piles of Smiles Crow Copic Colored Card

Good morning crafty friends,

Today I am sharing a card I created for the Digi Desserts Fridaze Post at MyPaperCrafting.com (formerly cooking with cricut). my nephew has an upcoming birthday so I thought this digi would be perfect!

Here is the picture of the completed card. I used some patterned paper from a stack I purchased at Michael’s. It is the Recollections bright and basic stack. I must admit, I am not too fond of this paper. It perforates at the top and leaves an unfinished, not so clean edge. So if you plan to use the full sheet, your layout will have a funky edge. So I have relegated the stack to “smaller uses”. But the price was right, and it’s been sitting around for well over a year so I figured I better make good use of it…lol!

This is a close up of the digi. I am still trying to get a feel of my coloring. I use the Georgia Pacific cardstock you can pick up at Walmart.  I realize that I need to make some money so that I can get some of the good Gina K. paper. I have heard from more than a few copic “officiandos” out there, that this is the primo paper for coloring.

Here is a pic of the markers I used. I know that was a lot of markers, but I just can’t seem to get my blending down without feeling like I have to keep throwing in colors…lol!

Here is a list of the supplies I used to complete my card

Bazzill White, Green and Kraft Cardstock

Recollections Bright and Basic Patterned Paper Stack

Copic Markers From Cutters Creek – See Photo for specific colors

Marvy Uchida Oak Leaf Punch

Martha Stewart Maple Leaf Punch

The Twinery Peapod Twine

Lifestyle Crafts (Quickutz) Leaves Embossing Folder-Retired

Miscellaneous Button, Inks and Dew Drops

Smorgasbord Saturday- Beautiful Projects

...A Little Late :-(

Good morning Crafty Friends,

Hope your Thursday is shaping up to be a wonderful one! Today’s post is actually a very late post that was supposed to happen on Saturday. I plum forgot to create the post and these wonderful designers were gracious enough to allow me to post today. Every other Saturday we are supposed to have a post of a variety of projects that the designers want to showcase. It can be anything they want to work on and doesn't have to fit any of our challenges. So without further delay here they are.
