Did you see Sandy Alnock's post and video where she colored that MFT Etched Flower stamp with just three Copics, R17, 37, and 89? Amazing! I thought, "I have that stamp and those three Copics, why not give it a try!"
So I did:
I used Memento Lady Bug ink to stamp the image. This was actually my second go of it. The first one I turned into cards:
Then I decided to color using four Copics, V12, V15, V17, and V09
That was my second attempt too. I used Memento Lulu Lavender ink to stamp that image. The first attempt I also turned into cards, but used Memento London Fog ink to stamp the image.
Then I decided to use five Copics, BG10, BG11, BG13, BG15, and BG18, and colored this:
I used Memento London Fog ink to stamp the image. Again, this was a second panel, and the first was turned into two cards. Here is one of them:
The sentiment on the aqua card was stamped with PTI's Hawaiian Shores. After I photographed everything, I turned the other panels into similar cards. I used SSS Stitched Rectangle Dies and the SSS/Hero Arts Prayers stamp and die set. The cardstock was all from my scraps.
Thanks so much for coming over to visit, I hope you're having a great day!

ReplyDeleteKara, so glad to see you back creating and blogging and a shoulder with less pain. Before I read your post and just saw the first photo, my jaw dropped and I thought to myself what gorgeous paper. Never using Copics myself, I can't even imagine achieving such fabulous results. And then you die cut them for lovely cards? You are definitely on a roll. Keep making progress toward healing - praying for you!
