My Entry Into The Big May Copic Giveaway

Do you really enjoying coloring....blending, making your project pop?  I do!! I really enjoying coloring with Copic Markers. My favorite features of Copics are the way they blend AND the way you can erase when you make a "le boo boo!" The Pen Addict is having a giveaway.  I'm participating because I just can not have enough Copic Markers!  I want at least one in every color! Coloring is one my favorite ways to express myself and releave stress. Given the way my day job has been going lately, if I win the giveaway, those markers will throughly be used! :o)

1. Lightly ran embossing static pouch over white card stock
2. Stamped images using black ink
3. Sprinkled embossing powder over the images, shook off access, and then heat set
4. Colored images with markers starting with the smallest areas first then filling in color in the largest area.  I always start with my lightest color, coloring in small circles, then add the darker color and come back with the lighter color to blend. I go back and forth, light...dark...light...until I get the blended look I want.
5. Cut out the the tea pot using a circle die cut. Cut out the tea bad and tag along embossed line and sent through sticker maker.
6. Cut out two scalloped layers
7. Assembled card, drawing the tea string between the tea bag and label

Trena,
Thank you for all of the fun comments on my blog. Originally, I set it up for my family to keep in touch and let them know some of the things I was doing. They hardly ever read it without a personal invitation and lots of begging. Then you went way back and read lots of previous posts. Thank you for the uplifting messages.

I am also in Naperville, near 95th St. off of Naper/Plainfield. Good to meet you and hope to see you at some of the meet-ups.
