"Missing You" Study in Sepia Tone and Black Tone

Hello everyone!  I have a few days off and plan to spend some quality time in my art room today and will be enjoying tomorrow at a crafting marathon with wonderful friends!  Great Friends.  Great food.  Crafting all day.   Who could ask for more!  LOL

As you are  probably aware, I have been taking Copic Classes from Suzanne Dean at  http://scrapbitzcopics.ning.com/   I am on my first lesson for Class 4.  I needed to use the same image for both Sepia Tone  and Black Tone.   I selected one of my very favorite images from Just Inklined -  “Cocker Spanial Pup”.

I am entering this card in two challenges (I appologize that my link is not working correctly and the URL only shows rather than the name.  I am told that blogger will be fixing that!)

• Crafts and Me at   http://craftsandmechallenges.blogspot.com/ challenge.   The theme is "Bring on the Bling"  I decided to use some corner flourishes from my Cricut and bling the card up with a Viva Pearl Pen!  
•  iCopic Lover at  http://blog.icopic.com/p/official-challenge-rules.html  The rule is:  Use just brown tones with your Copic Marker. Now where have I heard that before! LOL

Tip 1:  I had a really fabulous tip for you.....   I forgot what it was...   This ole lady can't remember squat!   Well here is another one!   If you have a Cricut or Die Cutter, you can use that for flourishes and save a bundle! 

Tip 2:  Spellbinders Nestabilities “Beaded Ovals” did not  “nest” as well as I would have liked so I cut two (different colors) and trimmed the beaded portion away, sanded my edges and used the inner oval inside my outer beaded layer.   I discovered the petite or large ovals were a different shape… therefore…. I created my own. Again…. Saving a bundle!
