"Bee"tiful Day

Spring glorious spring is here, and Mother's Day is this Sunday, so what better way to celebrate both of these special occasions then with an adorable card!

This is "Buzzin By Bear" from High Hopes rubber stamps and available to purchase here at One Crazy Stamper.  The image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on to Copic Xpress It cardstock and then colored with Copics and Prismacolor pencils.  I added lots of sparkle on the wings and body of the "bee"bear with Ranger Frosted Lace Stickles and then fussy cut the image.  The card base was created with Peacock Feathers distress ink and a My Favorite Things mini cloud stencil, and the flower border is an older die from Memory Box.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things.

Freezin' Season is Coming!!

Well the weather here in Alberta has been a roller coaster the past week - Saturday was 29, Monday was a balmy 5, and today...... only Mother Nature knows!!!   Monday's weather definitely made me think of snow, so coloring this image was no problem.

 

This little cutie and her friend is Skating Snowlady from High Hopes rubber stamps and is available at One Crazy Stamper.  I have colored the image with Copic markers using the Colorless Blender to add dots to the scarf and mittens.  The blades of the skates received a coating of Wink of Stella silver, while the pompoms on the hats of both the skater and the little bird have Flower Soft Polar White details.  The sentiment from High Hopes rubber stamps is also available here, and I added Stickles to the ice that is part of the sentiment.

Today I wanted to take the opportunity to tell you all about this fabulous tool that is available to supplement your Copic coloring.  A couple of months ago, I started seeing a lot of coloring bloggers talking about this wonderful Hex Chart that Sandy Allnock designed featuring Copic markers  arranged by colors, not numbers.  Wow is all that I can say!!!!  This fabulous chart has opened a whole new world of options in color combinations that I would have never thought to use together.  Here's a sneak peek of what it looks like -

 

 

 

The chart is available to purchase through Sandy Allnock's website at http://sandyallnock.com/hexchart.  If you love coloring you will love this chart!!

 

 

Happy Things

It's that time again, Thursday has arrived so I have a card to show you.  This adorable image is Julie's Smile from High Hopes Rubber stamps, that I have inked with Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto Copic Xpress It cardstock, and then colored with Copic Sketch markers.  I added a small dot of Sakura white glaze pen to the eyes, Stickles to the wings, and placed the fussy cut image on a Memory Box die.  The sentiment is an oldie from Kraftin Kimmie stamps.

One full week into the new year, and I hope everyone had a great holiday season and are ready to get to creating wonderful projects. For this week's Terrific Tuesday post for One Crazy Stamper I have a super cute card!

My card features an image and sentiment from YOUR NEXT STAMP Critter Crew Set Three. I stamped the bee on Copic X-press It cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored with my Copic sketch markers, then added Judikins Diamond Glaze to the eyes, and Stardust Stickles to the wings for added dimension. After fussy cutting the image I matted it with black cardstock and popped it up on the card front with pop dots. The card front and interior feature dp from Bo Bunny's Zip-a-dee-doodle collection.

Hello there.  Thank you for dropping in today to see what I have created for you.  It is, of course, following our challenge theme of "CHRISTMAS" this month, a Christmas card using an image and sentiment from High Hopes Stamps.  I made it for an American friend who believes that all we say in Canada is "EH?"  While I know I may have said it a time or two, it is not something I say continually or is it something I recall hearing all the time.  But it is a cute stereotype and works well here.

Supplies Used:  Copic Xpress It Card Stock, Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, High Hopes "Penguin Friends", High Hopes "Penguin Greeting", Copic Markers, Glossy Accents, Stickles ~ Xmas Red and Crystal

Have a wonderful Wednesday.
