Australian Challenge (Mad for Markers DT Post)


Hi Everyone,
  
Here are some cards to share for the
AUSTRALIAN THEMED CHALLENGE at the Mad for Markers Challenge Blog.
 
I immediately thought of using green and gold (yellow) and opened up my Flowers 4 set from My Favorite Things (for the first time!).
 
I actually made three cards using the same flower image.
 


 
Copics Used:
Y00, Y11, Y15, Y19, YR68, G43, G46
 
I also used MFT Dienamics Chevron Stripes, Baker's Twine in Mandarin and Peapod, decorative brads, Kaisercraft rhinestones and my Marvy circle punch.
 
The sentiment is from MFT More Essential Sentiments. Love it! You can never have enough sentiment stamps I say!
 
Hope you are getting crafty this new year!
 
Thanks for looking... have a great day!

Multiliner Touch Ups (DT Post)

Hi Everyone!
 
I have an image to share for the COPIC MULTILINERS CHALLENGE.
 
I stamped Princess #2 from The Greeting Farm and had some hair missing. Eeeek!
 
Using my trusty multiliners I filled in the missing section knowing that they are safe to use with my Copic markers and won't cause bleeding.
