I have been waiting for this day for so long!! You know how much I love my Copics, well I am so happy that there was enough space for me to get into the class being taught in Sarasota by Sally Lynn.
I am going to be Copics Certified!! Woohoo!!
I can't wait to learn some new tips and techniques and to get some practice on this involved type of coloring!
I will be sure to share some of the wonderful things I learn when I get back!!
So, I have a little something I made with {ippity} to share with you. I made this for a magazine call...wish me luck. I would be so happy to get some of my cards showcasing {ippity} published!
This is called Family...
It uses the word Family from the Life's Little Moments kit, and the house and sentiment (which I masked and paper pieced) from the Simply Home set. Both sets are {ippity}I really like the colors. I based them off the K & Co. DP mat pad that I used. It came with the scalloped edges and all.
I used my Stamp-a-majig and masking with post-it-notes to break the sentiment up like you see it here. I wanted it to fit down the whole side of the image panel. The flowers are from Prima. The brads from Basic Grey and MM.
I "colored" the house in by using both Copic markers and some paper piecing with some coordinating paper from the same K & Co. Mat Pad. I also used my Copics to highlight the words LOVE and HOME in the sentiment. I topped the whole thing off with this pretty velvet ribbon from MM that I gathered on my sewing machine and adhered by stitching the ends and securing it with some tacky tape. I machine stitched the image panel and the top and bottom edges of the card too!
Well that is all I have for you today. Should you be interested in buying either of the {ippity}sets you see used here, please contact me via email (sownsew25@verizon.net) or visit me at my {ippity} Sales Blog.
