Emily posted another fabulous Bellarific challenge this week with a fabulous card sketch. I didn't get my card completed in time to send to her for her blog post, but I've got it here for you to see! I was showing one of the girls at the store today how to color with Copics and she chose Matilda Muffinbread for me to demonstrate with, so here she is! After Mary left for the day, I finished my card up while I was working behind the register this evening. I wish so much that I could take photographs that show the sparkle on cards, but I just can't ever seem to get it right. I used my clear Spica glitter pen on her wings and cupcake frosting but it's not showing up in my picture. :(
While I still had some of the cardstock, flowers and paper scraps laying around, I quickly whipped out this card for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply challenge today, too! Sharon's challenge for today is to show that Spring has sprung by filling cyberspace with the fragrance of beautiful flowers! That's all... just incorporate some of your favorite flowers into your creation! I just love using flowers on my projects, although I never feel like I have just the right one sometimes. This flower is actually from Hero Arts Summer Art Flowers, and I just LOVE the vibrant colors this pack comes with!
Check out Sharon's fabulous creation on her blog, and stop by the blogs of the other Stamp Simply designers for more inspiration!
It's going to be an exciting weekend at Toyrifix, so you most likely won't hear from me again until Monday with my card for Kitchen Sink Monday, and the Copic Creations challenge! Sally Lynn MacDonald flies in tonight, and will be at the store bright and early tomorrow to teach classes for my customers! She's teaching two Copic 101 classes, and a Prima Card Buffet class! I can't wait to see what she does in the Prima class, as a lot of the supplies I ordered that she uses in the class are not things I am highly familiar with, so I'm really anxious to see these projects! Then on Sunday, Sally Lynn teaches the Copic Certification, and there are 32 people registered for that! I'm looking forward to an incredibly fun, stamping weekend!
Hope your Friday is wonderful! Thanks for stopping by!
