Working in the studio

Hi everyone! I have spent the last few days in my studio playing! I will be sharing some cards and maybe a scrapbook page or two over the next few days. Today I would like to share a Christmas Note Card that was made with one stamp! I used my copic markers to color the flower and leaves in the image. Then I used a masking technique to add the color to both the image and the background. I cut a small portion of the layer and popped it up to add some effect and used some glaze to get the flowers and ornament top to stand out a little. I hope you enjoy the card. I will be teaching this card at a yahoo group SCRAPBOOKNOOK next week. If you want to stop by check the group calendar to get the information in regards to date and time!

Friday's Weekly Challenge from Bloggers Challenge

Happy Friday! I am always thrilled when Friday comes and I have my project completed!!! I completed this card early this week! The challenge from Bloggers Challenge this week was a color challenge. The colors we had to use for this challenge where red, teal and curry! This was very difficult for me. I think color and sketch challenges are the most difficult for me! I find these challenges limit my creativity and they make me work so much harder then a theme type of challenge. Anyway, I started out with three different pieces of colorstock... the card style was looking southwest and I thought that may be the way! Then I slept on it and woke to with an idea....like a bell going off!! It was more like a creative chime! Then I dug through my papers and came up with this beautiful black and white floral paper....grabbed some copics and something wonderful came together! I hope you enjoy the card! Please, take a minute and check out all the awesome projects that the other bloggers from Bloggers Challenge have created for this challenge!
