Rappin Bear

This card is for a pre-teen. I airbrushed the chipboard letters and the bear's background with my Copic markers.I colored the image with Prismacolor markers months before. I stamp images and color and then use the images later. I embossed the burgandy cardstock with Cuttlebug folder. I used brads and silver string around.

Aloha

I really have to work on taking better pictures. This picture doesn't do this card justice! I have to say this is one of my new favorites because it's simple and the Copic markers really pop off the page. Just take my word for it. I made my own coordinating ribbon by taking plain grosgrain ribbon and making circles with my Copics. The aloha sentiment is a rub-on that I also colored with Copics.

BBQ time!

Since I haven't blogged in such a long time I have had a lot of projects to share. Last month we had a BBQ celebrating our youngest daughter's middle school graduation. I made 100 of these invites! I kept it very simple because of the amount that needed to be done. I did everything in stages and it took me about a week working on them after work. I stamped the BBQ pit which is a stamp set from Provo Craft that I bought on clearance from Js last year. It was $2.97! Anyway I colored them with my Copics. The BBQ was cut using my Cricut Expression Alphalicious cartridge. I used Cuttlebug folders for the embossing.

I can't seem to locate the pictures of the party favors. I guess I didn't transfer all my files to the laptop. I will post them when located.

A Lil bit of me is posting some blog candy! Yum Yum! Go check it out!
