 Tip of the Day:  Try using your Copic Alcohol Marker on your embellishments.  I just used an airbrsh system to color the pearls and on the petals of the flower.   This is optional.  If you do not have an airbrush system, you can just use your Copic Alcohol Markers directly on embellishments and on ribbon.  This is a way to make certain your colors coordinate!

 Thank you so much for stopping by and spending some time!  I hope you have a wonderful day and please come back soon!
