Red and Black Copic Combos

Love the red colors of colic markers.  They are a little harder for me to use.  Trying to stay within the lines is a little more difficult then I thought and I have not quite mastered the blender marker.  The first is one I colored when I first started with copics she is the first Bestie that I colored.  Loved all the details of the image.

These are few different cards I have made as I started getting ready for Christmas cards.  Yes, I know they are not all the christmas them but if you could see the stack I have now you would understand the need to do some things that are different.  

The first of many Christmas cards that I have done for this christmas season.  This has become my stress relief at night.  When I was talking to someone and told them I needed to color more to cut down on stress she started laughing.  She said she would have to tell her daughter.  I know it sounds funny but works better then eating or drinking all  the time.  

Halloween

Always amazes me how fast time flies any more.  Did not realize it had been almost a month since the last time I posted.  Get busy playing and forget to post some of the projects.  Here a few of the things I have done in the last month.

 Have done this witch several times this halloween but I think this turned out to be my favorite.  Loved how she looked with the black stripes behind her.  Striped paper was last years Stampin Up halloween designer paper.  She was colored with copics

Bright Colors

I have a preference for doing images with pastels so I am trying to break out of my rut by trying these brighter colors.   Love how bright things came out.  Sorry the 1st image is blurry.  Pink is my favorite color if you have not figured this out by all the previous images.  

Both cards were done with Stampin Up paper and designer papers.  Some of these papers I have had for years so can't remember what speciality papers were named.  I am sure most of them have been retired.  The cutouts were done with my cricut with embellishments that i got from Hobby Lobby.  I see all the pretty cutouts that people are using on their cards and have ordered some of the die cuts to start trying as well.  The ribbon came from Stampin Up as well.
