Copic Creations Challenge with Sugar Nellie

I'm back with my card for this week's Copic Creations Challenge!

For the next 2 weeks, the Copic Creations Challenge is being sponsored by Sugar Nellie.

Did you know that Sugar Nellie now has digi stamps?! It may be old news to some, but it was new to me! I see some of them in my future!

For this time around though I decided that one of my gorjuss girls needed some love. I dont know that this one had ever seen ink before! A true shame!!!!!

Our challenge for you this week is to pull out those BLLLLUUUUUUUEEES!

What is your favorite blue combo? Mine is a slight toss up. I love the B30s and the B90's.

It really depends on the paper i'm using of course as you want to have things match. For the above image... i actually combined both! I used B30, B37, B34 and then B91. I like B32 but i find often that is makes the overall tone too bright when i'm finished if i've gone all the way to B37 and B39. The B91 has a softer effect and since the blues in my paper were a little more muted, i used that instead of B32 for my lightest color. If the B91 is too pale/unvibrant, you might think of layering both of them together! :D

So what are you waiting for?! You dont have to use Sugar Nellie images to play in the Copic Creations challenge, but if you play, you just might WIN some sugar nellie images!

You have nothing to lose! Be sure to link up your card to the Copic Creations Blog and while you're there, be sure to check our the awesome creations from the rest of the design team! They never cease to amaze me!

it's a GORJUSS Tuesday!

Yippie! I'm caught up (mostly) and i found my camera! So i can finally post this card i made a whole week ago! My dear friend, Dawn was sweet enough to send me some images while i wait for my order. :) So i finally got to make a card! WOOHOO! At the time i was playing along with the sugarbowl challenge to make a spingy card. Since the challenge is past and on to the next one... now i just have a springy card! haha.



I used A little birdie told me and decided to make her sitting on a stone wall which i just freehanded with my copics. The rest of the image is color with copics as well. The sentiment is from A birdie told me set by Stampin Up.

Ok, back to cleaning the disaster in my house! Be back soon!
