Thinking of You




 Hello everyone!  Happy Thursday!  I hope everyone is getting ready for a wonderful weekend!   
I have been practicing for my Magnolia Class   at Color Me Creative Classroom.  I decided to do this tutorial so show my step in creating this card.   

Technique: 
  • Copic Markers
  • Tip to tip blending
  • On paper blending
  • Copic Markers with watercolor effect for background
 Challenge:  I am entering this card in the fabulous Top Tip Tuesday   for the Top Tip #42 Tipper Week Sketch Challenge.   There are two sketches to choose from.  Don't you just love choices?  I selected this wonderful sketch by Chris:

Tip of the Day:  You can add cohesiveness to your picture by using some of the colors you used in your image in the background.  In my card, I used Copic Markers to dot my background and then blend with B00 and C00, C01 to give a watercolor effecct.
