The Gift of a Feather

Hello!   It's Monday morning and the start of another week!    

Totally Gorjuss has a challenge with the theme of using a feather.   

It made  me think of  a poem that spoke of a bird giving the greatest gift he had-  

It was a feather -  It was a gorgeous poem and for the life of me - I cannot find it anywhere!  

Please let me know if anyone knows where I can find this poem.  

It is so beautiful!   

It is my turn to post at our wonderful Paper Temptress Blog!   

Of course I eagerly pulled out my beautiful paper from Paper Temptress!  

 I did not have a stamp with a feather so I decided to sketch it myself!

I found my inspiration from my three feather babies!

Flowers Just For YOU

Hello and WELCOME!

Totally Gorjuss has a challenge this week that inspired this card.
The challenge run's through Friday and the theme is...
"Sympathy" or "Sorry"

I confess that I am a shopaholic! I recently visited Patricia from The Paper Temptress
and I got a little carried away with all the paper selections.  
I left with two big boxes filled with gorgeous paper!
I used some for this card.
Take a look!

Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice!

Hello and happy Thursday!

Marie here with another mini-tutorial on a new Copic color combo- 

The air is getting a bite in the air and the tree's are getting their gorgeous Fall coloration

 in my little part of the world. 

It's time for pumpkin pie and all the goodies with the wonderful flavors of cinnamon and nutmeg!

 That inspired me for our next color combo!

Pumpkin Spice

My YouTube Tutorials >  HERE

Christina Z, a wonderful member of our MarkerPOP Community 

requested a tutorial on coloring pumpkins. 

I have a new stamp with a pumpkin on it but it's size is small. 

I will create a card using that stamp but I wanted to color a larger pumpkin 

for the purpose of this tutorial. 

Therefore, I pulled out a pencil, sketched a large o.e' lopsided pumpkin  

added some leaves and then traced over it with a Copic o.o3 multiline pen.

 I then erased the pencil and began coloring! 

 This one's for you Christina - and I hope I do it justice!

I can hardly wait to show you the fun and easy  I created!

Accent dots were added with my Copic Alcohol Ink Marker.

The sentiment  was created with my calligraphy pen.

The edges were heavily distressed.

Card Base: Heavenly White 120#Sentiment:  Neenah Solar White

One Boo-Tastic Background

 Hello everyone!

I am doing something a little different today.
I usually focus on color combos - but today,
I am excited to share a Boo-Tastic Background using
the Ranger Tim Holtz  Distress Spritzer Tool!

 The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black.
A mask was created for the little witch using a post-it note.
The background was created using Copic Alcohol Ink Markers
and the Ranger  Tim Holtz  Distress Spritzer Tool
(It works best if your brush or chisel is juicy!)

Copic Sketch Markers
Background : T10,  YR16
Skin Tones: E000, E00, E11
Hair: T3, T4, T6
Shirt/socks:  YR12, YR16

I hope you enjoyed the mini-tutorial.
If you find you enjoy the spritzer background, you may want to think about up-grading to an airbrush system. 
I have one and I love it :D
The spritzer tool  gives a slightly different look -
The airbrush system provides a much smoother coverage.
They are both fun and I am totally addicted.

Have a great day!
See you soon.
