This week's iCopic Challenge is to use copics in the YG family for your project... EASY! This is my favorite color family! The combo I reach for ALL the time is YG25-YG03-YG01. I love this bright green, and it seems to go with so many of the patterned papers in my collection!

 

I made a cute little tag for the challenge... all of the stamps I used are old Angel Company stamps.

 

  

YG25, YG03, YG01 - Frog

B02, B00 - Eyes

 

Here's a little trick I used today that I wanted to share... the sentiment on the tag is actually from 2 seperate sentiment stamps. I used my Memento Tuxedo Black Marker to color only the word on the stamp that I wanted to use:

 

 

Maybe you can get a little more mileage out of your sentiments now, too!

 

Thanks for stopping by today! I would love to know what you think!

 

  

Heidi over at 2 Cute Ink offered up this adorable freebie to play along in the 2 Cute Ink Challenge! The challenge is to make a spring/easter themed card, and since that is also the challenge for this week's Sweet 'n Sassy Digi Challenge, I'll be entering my card there too! I found some pastel striped paper in my scrap bin, and colored the little eggs to match. The sentiment is from an old set by The Angel Company called I Love Easter.

B24, B21 - Blue Eggs

YR21, YR20 - Pacifier, Yellow Eggs

I've had this cute little Egg Painting Bunny image from Whimsie Doodles sitting on my desk for weeks, just waiting to be colored! When I saw this week's Mojo Moday Sketch, I finally found a purpose for him! I printed the image twice - once onto white cardstock, once onto ivory cardstock. I colored the image on the white, then cut it out, and paper-pieced it onto the ivory to really make the bunny stand out. The stitching was done by hand again... I have TONS of DMC Floss that I've saved from my cross-stitching days, so I picked a color that matched the lavendar cardstock. I also added a little White Fun Flock to the tail.

I haven't been feeling very creative lately, but managed to eek out a card today. My daughters had their 5th birthday a couple weeks ago, and I've been meaning to make thank you's for them to sign. I found this image from digistampcharacters and thought it would be perfect! The layout for this card was inspired by the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge on SCS. I colored the mice with a combination of Copics and colored pencils (you can see my tutorial here). The stitching on the card is all done by hand... the tension on my sewing machine is all wonky, and I can't seem to get a straight stitch! I need to get it looked at, because this was a little time-consuming!! I'm happy with the outcome though...

 

 

Copics Colors Used:

E41 + Prismacolor Light Umber Pencil - Mice

R81 - Noses, Ears
