Good morning everyone!   My friend Lisa at You Made Me Ink  is a design team member at Tip Top Tuesday Challenge and her fabulous card inspired me to participate in this fun challenge.  Drum roll... the challenge is   "T is for ???"   Yes be creative.  Anything with "T" goes.  What can be more fun than that?

I selected a digital image by Crafts and Me called "May"  I elected to use  a cluster of three metallic brads twice.   That is double the pleasure... Two  and Three!!!   Oh no triplets..  I also included a Tip!!!

  • Copic Markers with Pastel Effect  (As in Suzanne Dean's Color Me Creative Classroom Class 3 Lesson 12)
  • Copic Tip to Tip Transferring

Score and fold  at  4.25 in.  (This makes card for a 2A envelope)

    WOW!!!! This girl is wonderful!!! You did a great job with her. The color is outstanding. Never thought of nail polish but I do use Versa mark and then the sticky mess will not stick it just wipes off.
    Hugs, Pat

    This is so beautiful! I love your gorgeous coloring. This image could be used for so many different kinds of cards. I think I need to check them out. I need to get back into my classes with Suzanne. I just seemed to quit as soon as I signed up for #3. My year is going to be up before I take the class. lol! I love the card below this one to, the DT sample for the folds challenge. It is so pretty in those pale colors you used.

    All I can say is WOW! I've just spent a happy half hour browsing through your blog and your colouring is truly amazing! Probably, like me, it's your favourite occupation. I don't want this to sound like a mutual admiration society but I'm now following you too!
