Sending Prayers; a Copic CASE

I think I'm finally back now.  My shoulder is healing nicely (although slower than I would like).  I've made some cards, and I'm ready to get back into blogging!

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!

  27. Kara, 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!

  28. You now hold first place in my Top Ten Cards of 2016, Kara! I don't even have words, THAT'S how out-of-this-world your coloring and your cards are!! Pinning!! Continued good wishes for full recovery! Kevin didn't think his shoulder would ever stop hurting and then one day it suddenly turned a corner and it was all uphill after that! Hugs, Darnell

    Hope your shoulder is feeling better. I can relate. I took a really bad fall about two years ago, ended up with a frozen shoulder, many weeks of PT, and I'm still not right, time to call the doctor again, but I keep putting it off.
