I have been learning to "blend" with Copics. As you can see from this post, I don't blend very well yet. I am sure you should not be able to see the line where one color ends and the next one begins. I am posting this anyway as a way to measure my progress.
This card is my submission to the PPA Challenge #135. Horay, I am finally back on track with some stamping. I have not been participating since March. My job got very busy and I got a new puppy on St. Patrick's day, so I have not had enough free time for stamping.
Here is the challenge sketch and my card:
The cardstock is Stampin' Up! Old Olive, More Mustard and Close to Cocoa. The DSP is also SU. The sunflower stamp is from Delta Creative. I sponged the background with SU Old Olive. The tiny little thank-you is from last year's sale-a-bration set, Happy Moments and the stamped lattice design is from this year's Fresh Vintage set, stamped with SU Cajun Craze. I highlighted parts of the sunflower design with a Sakura Clear Star Jelly Roll pen. The sparkle may not show up in the photo.
I am getting raedy to host a Stampin' Up! New Catalog Open House on June 9th, noon to 4:00 PM. Drop in anytime and participate in complimentary Make and Takes. Try out the new SU ink pads in the new In Colors for 2012 - 2013. The first five individuals to RSVP will receive a Free Catalog!
