How About a Sunflower?

Sunflowers always speak fall to me and I can hardly believe we are already half way through September! I have the cutest stamp from CC Designs to share with you today. Meet Swiss Pixies Birgitta:

I really enjoyed coloring this one with my copics! Here's a close up:

Don't forget about all the cool things you can do with your colorless blender! See those dots in the center of the sunflower? All done with the colorless blender. One thing you want to remember when you try this though is to give the blender a few seconds to start pushing the color out of the way. You will not see immediate results so better to add just a few at a time and then you go back and strengthen some of the spots or add more if you need to.
Here's the colors I used:

Here's some of the other supplies I used:
Memento Ink, Tim Holtz Distress Inks,  X-Press It adhesive, Spellbinders Circle Nestabilities, Black Pearls.

Thanks for looking and I hope you will play along with our Sketch challenge this month : )
Hugs~

I decided to use a few of the girls and sentiments from the new YNS release to make mini shaped cards. Just perfect for when you just want to send a simple note or gift card! Each was stamped with Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black before coloring with copics.  I cut up the sentiments and distressed the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink.  You can visit my blog to see close ups of each one.

I just loved working with this Your Next Stamp Release.  These images are a dream to color with Copic markers!  

Joni:

I paper pieced my darling witch from YNS with dp from My Mind's Eye Mischievious. Used the Spellbinders Label 23 die to cut out the witch's pot. Colored with copics and a spider web border and an orange bow!

Madge

The new releases from YNS are just so much fun to work with.......!!   Trick or Treat Kids was used for this Easel Card - along with Trick or Treat for the pedestal,

 A Martha Stewart punch was used for the front side of the card.

    Everyone likes treats - and CHOCOLATE it is,  A booty full!   I used the Happy Halloween Sentiment from YNS.  The papers are not DP's, but sponged cardstock using Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Mustard Seed; Dusty Concord and Spiced Marmalade, along with Black Soot. Images are colored with Copics and Glossy Accents are used to stiffen the embellishments.  Hope you will stop by my blog to see a tutorial on how to assemble the treat box from an 8 12" x 11" piece of cardstock.

Isn’t this Jillibean Soup Paper GORGEOUS!?!  I had this CC Design image already colored up (Copics) from a while back and it just happened to fit perfectly with this paper!  This image isn’t currently in stock at OCS but there are so many sweet CC Design stamps  in the OCS store that you won’t have a hard time finding one you want!

My image has been stamped on Copic Xpress cardstock with Memento ink and then colored with my Copics.

What is your favorite paper to color on?
