It’s that time of the week again! Where do the days go? At this rate I’ll have to start making Christmas cards soon.
Copic Colour Challenge #18 is upon us, and we have some fab colours for you to play with this week. Do remember though, if you don’t have any of these colours you can still play, just use the closest Copic colours you have! Use one of the colours or all three! You’re even welcome to mix mediums, as long as you use at least one Copic in a colour as close to one of those listed as you can get!
Make sure you check out the rest of the DT’s creations, they are all fab!
This week I’ve created a card using one of the Edwin stamps from Magnolia’s Chasing Butterflies collection. It has been quite a while since I made anything using an Edwin stamp, he must have been feeling terribly neglected!
Coloured using Copic Markers of course, and you will find the list at the end of this post, along with details on everything else. The smaller buttons used on the card are from the Bold Gingham Button Stacker available at Quixotic Paperie. I simply turned them over so the solid colour side is showing, rather than gingham!
I’m also entering this in the Spoonful of Sugar Challenge this week, as I’ve followed their fab sketch.
And now to say thank you to two lovely ladies who have passed on a couple of awards to me!
Firstly to Cheryl, for this lovely award:
And secondly to Wendy, for this one:
Much appreciated, thank you both, and right back atcha! I am terrible at passing these things on, but I would like to award both to everyone who has commented recently and to everyone who has given their support to my new venture. You are all wonderful.
