Color Throwndown challenge

I decided to create a card for the #ctd379 challenge on colorthrowndownchallenge.blogspot.com.  I love the flower stamps from thetonstamps.com and coloring them is so relaxing.  I colored them with Copic markers and used sequins from prettypinkposh.com to give the card a little sparkle.  I used shiny gold cardstock for the "fabulous" die cut from thetonstamps.com.  I used the little strip of black cardstock to offset all the pink on this card.

Here are the Copic markers I used for the flowers and leaves:
I hope to make more cards tomorrow and will try to post more often.  Have a great night!

Funny Ladies

I love these stamps from the "Girlfriends" collection at Artimpressions.com.  I made a couple cards with them last weekend for the #dailymarker30day challenge.  I colored both with Copic markers and used either sequins from prettypinkposh.com or enamel dots to add that extra touch.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but I also added Glossy Accents to the wine.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

For this card, I cut out a couple hearts to match the background paper and added a little Wink of Stella to brighten them up a bit.  The sentiment on this card is from a mftstamps.com set.  Hope you enjoy both cards and can get some ideas from them!

Morning Glories

I was so happy to get this new Morning Glories stamp set from thetonstamps.com and was finally able to create a couple cards with it last weekend.  For this first card, I thought a light blue background with a little white around the main image would look nice.  I masked off the first morning glory and stamped the second over it; then masked the second one and stamped the third over both and used the same masks to add the leaves.  I used Copic markers to color the image and added the fabulous word die cut from foil paper.  (It actually is shinier than the picture shows.)  I finished off the card with a few sequins from prettypinkposh.com.

Here are the Copics I used:

For the second card, I wanted to try and color some pink morning glories.  I used the same stamping and masking technique to overlap the flowers and leaves.  After the flowers and leaves were all colored, I used a sentiment from averyelle.com and finished the card off with some sequins from prettypinkposh.com.

I'm sure I will get alot of use out of this stamp set.  The flowers are so pretty!
Hope you enjoy and have a great day!
