Cute kitty from CMS!

Another release from CMS, and they are super cute! I just had to play along with this kitty… and I am not a cat fan at all… go figure!



The image is colored with copics and then I fussy cut it out and popped it up. I had fun changing up the stitches on this one, I’ve seen others do it and it is pretty neat. I may have gotten a bit carried away in inking the edges. I usually use a sponge but decided I wanted to have some of the lines.



Don’t forget to swing by the Copic Marker Scrapbooking store to see what goodies they have for you!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Let me know what you think and have a wonderful day!

This pup and rabbit are from Copic Marker Scrapbooking… it went a different direction than I planned, but after coloring the rabbit and adding in shadows I just kept going with the same colors.

Beanstalk Bear and Fundraiser

Isn't this bear just too cute???? I had so much fun coloring this digi from Copic Marker Scrapbooking. I even went for the dotted background that is not always my friend. The green CS is DCWV, I embossed with a fiskars texture plate and then lightly sanded it. More of my decorator mesh and a few brads thrown in.

This image is part of a special fundraiser set for our fabulous artist, Guy, who is undergoing treatment for throat cancer. Please check out the details on Colleen's Blog to see how many fabulous prizes have been offered up for those who donate by buying this set for a mere $5!

CMS release and fundraiser

Hi all! I’m here today with an image from Copic Marker Scrapbooking, I have more to come too, have to spread out the love right! These flowers are too cute! I colored with copics and added some dots with an orange Micron pen.

On another not so cheerful note, the awesome designer for CMS Guy Gondron has recently been diagnosed with throat cancer and is having a rough go of it right now. Colleen has put out a fundraiser on his behalf, all of the images that he has drawn for CMS for $10! All of which will go to Guy! What a fabulous company, and it shows what a great person he is too! If you find it in you to help out a fellow artist, it would be fabulous!

I made the CMS Design Team!

If you haven’t already noticed it on my sidebar…. I made the Copic Marker Scrapbooking Design Team!!!! Check out Colleen’s blog to see the other new members! I am so excited, you all know how much I love my copics, and add on some awesome digi’s to work with and I’m a happy camper! To start things off I decided to play with this Princess Digital Stamp. The sentiment was offered up as a freebie on Colleen’s blog. The image and ground are colored with copics but the background grass and sky was chalked in.



I colored with copics, added some highlights with a sharpie paint pen, and grabbed some Spica pens for the necklace and front of the dress. The shimmery bit on her hat was painted with Iridescent medium, it adds such a beautiful sparkle to it! I waited for a while before taking the pictures…. I see I should have gone back to touch up the hair more… As the alcohol evaporates and it dries out, the color and blend can change, just a tip… you can go back and do more coloring then!



I decided to carry the pattern paper over into the inside with some strips at the top and bottom.



Thanks so much for stopping by, please let me know what you think, and be sure to check out the Copic Marker Scrapbooking site to see what they have to offer ~ Copics, refills, digi stamps, papers… lots of fun!

The frog prince…

This is such a cute frog that I loved it as soon as I saw it. I mean look at that face, how can you not? And then the sentiment with the kiss is perfect! These were snagged as freebies from Copic Marker Scrapbooking for their DT call. Since we all now I love my copics, and they have some great images, I decided to go for it!
