Tip: When you score your card base make certain you place another piece of paper over the top of the card prior to scoring to achieve a crisp fold without getting unwanted lines on your finished card.
Tip 2: You will save a lot of blood, sweat and tears if you select your cardstock and designer paper prior to coloring your focal image. You may find you want to alter the Copic Marker shades or ink media based on your available paper. This is a taken from someone who did not always follow this rule! LOL!
I used Memento Ink and a brayer to set my background. I stamped the background with GKD image from "Farm Life"
This adorable image is a digital from Just Inked called "Cocker Spaniel Pup" Doesn't he just look like he is so sad and missing your soooo much?! I colored the image with Copic markers and paper pieced the image over my background.
I applied ribbon and embelishmentst I used Fancy Labels for my sentiment.
Thank you for coming by and please stop by again soon. Leave a comment and let me know you were here ad have a great weekend!

I was here! :) I can't believe I've never used Copic markers...and I keep seeing them used everywhere. Hmmm, you've inspired me to research.
ReplyDeleteWonderful blog and thank you for sharing!!
Oh Marie, this card is sooo nice. That puppy looks like he is deep in thought just as your sentiment says.
ReplyDeleteI clicked on your card from Copic Creations because it's so beautiful, and then I see you Marie, familiar face from over at CMC. :) I love it ~ what a warm, fantastic card with wonderful coloring!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!! You did it!!! I'm so glad you worked it all out and it looks great... I'm so happy for you and I was looking at your card, a lot of pretty nice ones you have done. I did not really look at the backround of the card and I love what you did, the colors are wonderful.

OH MY....this is Beautiful!!!! I have so much to learn with copics. I haven't pulled my brayer out in a long time to do something like this....you left me with inspiration. Funny, I was looking at the digital last night while surfing the net. I've been at the beach for a week and have not been able to respond to emails....thank you for your lovely comment on my blog. I hope to get something posted by tomorrow night....I'm very far behind.
