Hi All - another fantastic week on SPCC. Here are the colours for this week - great inspiration - especially if you want to do Halloween Cards. But being in Australia we don' really do Halloween, so I don't have an Halloween stamps - oh well.
Our sponsor this week is:
iCopic.com as the name suggests is a Copic retailer. They sell all the Copic varieties and accessories for your colouring needs. iCopic.com has awesome prices, great customer service, and an awesome selection. If you need Copic markers, iCopic.com is the place to go, and this week they have offered a fantastic prize - a pack of 12 Copics!!! Amazing - thanks so much iCopic.com - I wish I was in for a chance to win them! I'll just have to drool...
Here is my card - probably my most favourite card that I have ever made - and I used wonderful Copics - love them, love them, love them. I have always been a watercolour pencil girl, so all my images have been really light and shaded. But now I have discovered the wonderful brightness of Copics! I used the following colours: V04 Lilac, YR04 Chrome Orange and Y35 Maize.
I used the copics to colour in some white Kaisercraft flowers, and the paper flowers just sucked the colour in and left them looking amazing and bright. For the flower I used Hero Arts stamp F5158 Heart Winged Butterfly, and stamped him in black and coloured the wings. Then from inspiration from the amazing Ashley - here - I stamped the butterfly with black Staz On onto Acetate and cut it out, bent the wings and overlay it on the coloured butterfly to give it beautiful wings. The sentiment is from Hero Arts Clear Design CL285 and the purple swirl from a Hero Arts Christmas set from a few years ago, which I don't have the number of - sorry. Used a fiskars punch to do the bottom of the card. Gems used from Kaisercraft.
Beautiful! I love this card.
