TDLLC ~ Day 16. Copic Markers "HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY IS LOADS OF FUN" card using Lawn Fawn stamps/dies Outlawz Sketch Challenge



Day 16 of  #thedailymarker30day Coloring Challenge.


Happy Thursday!  I have a Design Team Card Project for you for TupeloDesignsLLC. <Tupelo Designs LLC
has FREE Shipping in the U.S. and discounted/free shipping for other countries and they ship super fast!!

I have a funny to share... tonight there is a Welcome for me, so I have had Thursday on the brain because I will have to talk in front of everyone and I am a bit out of practice.  Last night I started out making a card and thought it was Wednesday night meaning I was making a post for Thursday.. so I got my post all done, shared it all over Facebook.............. and then...........  I woke up this morning and the very first thing I thought of was that it was NOT Thursday!!!   I had to go delete everything I shared on Facebook and edit my blog post.   ahhhhhh..  I won't do that again! haha!!

So for my card I put all my stamps into a stamping tool, inked them up with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped them. They stamped so nicely that I only had to ink them once.. love Lawn Fawn stamps!!   by the way ~ I'm using a super fun set called "Loads of Fun" ~ which is it!!
*I ended up stamping the bubbles and another sock later for my card.



I am by no way an expert at Copic coloring..  or an expert at anything for that matter!  haha..  I just wanted to share how I colored up the washing machine.... which I got a tad sloppy while doing so. For some reason I had a hard time staying in the lines ~ I gave up and decided to purposely color outside the lines because I decided to cut it out instead of using the coordinating die for it.

I had already colored the top of the machine ..  I thought I took pictures of adding each color for it, but afterwards realized I hadn't.  ..  first I colored the machine with R35.



Then I brushed in some R37 around the outside.


then some R39


Then I blended backwards using the R37 and R35..  then R37 all over.   I then cut it out and ran a black Memento Black marker around the edges.  I did use R39 to color the ring around the door.



A couple weeks ago I asked my friends on Facebook to suggest some sites for card sketches. I wanted some new sites to venture to. My friend Margaret suggested the Outlawz Challenges site.  I signed up, and then joined the Wednesday Sketch Challenge group.  The sketch I used is this week's sketch.. what fun~!

Day 15. Copic Markers "... BUT YOU ARE KIND OF AMAZING Just Sayin'" card using WPlus9 Stamps/Dies *W/MEASUREMENTS


Day 15 of #thedailymarker30day Coloring Challenge. 


  For my card today I used an absolutely adorable stamp set from WPlus9 called "Unforgettable" ~~~ ohhhh sooo cute! I used Copic Markers to color up the elephants and balloons.


I stamped and colored up a bunch of the images from the stamp set using Copic markers.   My first elephant got a little dark, but I went with it. I imagine that elephants are lots of different shades.   I tried to lighten him up so he was easier to see by dotting the image with the Copic markers and I like the way it ended up.
I used this week's Mojo Monday Sketch. I flipped the sketch.  The measurements are shared below.

These the the Copic markers I used on the balloons:


These are the Copic marker colors I used on the elephants:




After die-cutting the rectangle piece I stamped the sentiment on it. I used a stamping tool and stamped it twice so it turned out darker. 



After putting the balloons together..  by the way.. I cut one of the balloon strings off at the balloon, then turned it around so the string went in the opposite direction as the other balloon, then glued it to under the balloon right at the bottom where the strong was. I lined up the lines so no one really knows.    I put foam tape on the back of the balloons and the elephant.  **note: after I put this piece on the card, I realized I needed two layers of foam on the balloons so I added another square piece of foam on each. 


I put foam tape under the brown card stock layer. I decided last minute to add some brown brads. I punched through the card stock and foam tape and put them on over the foam.



I used this week's Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #457: MOJO457

*MEASUREMENTS:   I jotted down the measurements I used for my card on the sketch I printed out. I took a picture of it and shared it below. I did use dies for the square and rectangle shape.

card stock:  brown, Copic Express
pattern paper: My Mind's Eye Fine and Dandy True Blue
stamps:  WPlus9 Unforgettable
ink: Versafine Black (sentiment), Memento Black, Asst. Copic Markers:  0, R20, YR12, YR16, YR18, BV20, BV23, BV25, BV29, BG10, BG11, BG13, BG18, Y32, Y35, Y38

Day 13. Ink Smooshing/Ink Layering "MANY THANKS" card using Hero Arts Pineapple Coloring Layering Stamps/Die


Day 13 of #thedailymarker30day Coloring Challenge.

Today I inked up a brand new set to me. It's from Hero Arts and is one of their Color Layering sets called Pineapple.  I really like how easy it was to stamp.    I bought the die-cut as well.  I die-cut the pineapple, then laid the card stock with the die-cut in it in my stamping tool and then lined up the stamps. It was pretty easy.

I smooshed my distress ink pad onto a piece of clear plastic, sprayed it with a water spritzer and then smooshed the plastic onto the watercolor paper. I used a paper towel to dab up any extra ink/water on the card stock.  It's really cool looking in person.

Hello... my coloring today consisted of the skin and hair of the adorable My Favorite Things Pure Innocence image from the Stamp set called Fun In The Sun.  I got started late and then was helping my son try and update a GoPro and then I got to chatting with a friend of mine.  I am pretty tired so I am heading to bed.  I'll finish coloring this cutie tomorrow.   I am going to put her on a card using this week's Mojo Monday Sketch.

Day 9. Layering Inks ~ TDLLC "WITH SYMPATHY" card using Altenew and Avery Elle stamps/dies *W/MEASUREMENTS


Day 9. of  #thedailymarker30day Coloring Challenge.  Today I did some ink layering.

Happy Thursday Everyone!  I have a Design Team card for TupeloDesignsLLC for you.  It's the kind of card that we card makers don't always like to make. I happened to need one and have been putting this off for a few days.  You could easily change out the sentiment to be a Happy Birthday, Anniversary, Thinking of You, etc.



The card I made is going postal tomorrow to the family of a dear friend.  She was someone I never met in person, but I know had we met we would be instant friends.  She was one to always say the nicest things, the funniest things..  things that made you smile.  I met her when I go started making cards for Operation Write Home.  Her and I would chat often, a lot of times her asking me if I knew what some crafty thing was called or who made it, etc.  I was sort of her enabler. haha.  On Thursday morning she had messaged me asking about a stamped image.  I was on my way to the airport to pick up my son and on the way there I searched to find a name/maker for that image. I searched later on that night as well and finally gave up.. messaging her around 11 pm that my searching resulted in a big fat ZERO!  The next morning I read that she had fallen and had been taken to the hospital, then early Monday morning I read she had passed away. My heart ached for a friend I had never met. It makes me cry now to try and write this out.   I will miss my friend, but I know she's in heaven getting others involved in some crafty things while not in anymore pain ~ and one day I'll get to meet her in person. Hugs Ronni until we meet in the big craft room in the sky.


=================================================================

On to my card...  I stamped all the images from the Altenew Beautiful Day stamp set using a stamping tool which makes it quite easy to line up and stamped.   I layered several Altenew inks for the flowers and then some Hero Art and Lawn Fawn inks for the leaves.

Here are all the images (less the purple flower, I actually inked and stamped it a couple of days ago). I had already cut out one of the leaves and stopped to take a pictue.



I don't own the dies to this set.. in fact I need to find out if they make dies for this set because I always have to cut it out.. haha.  it doesn't take long to cut them out.  Here are all the flowers and leaves I used for my card.  I cut them out using some awesome Cutter Bee Scissors.


I measured how wide the die-cut sentiment was and cut a piece of white card stock just a little bit wider.. I then cut a piece of black card stock to layer it on. I held them both together where they would be when I glue them together and cut up the center and then from the outer corners to the center.. that way they line up perfectly when you adhere them together.


 I put double sided adhesive on the back of some black card stock.  I put the die on the other side of it and run it through my die-cutting machine. After it's cut.. there's already adhesive on the back of the sentiment. It makes it so much easier to adhere to the card.


After putting Multi Medium Matte or foam on the backs of each leaf, I would lay an acrylic block on top of it to keep it in place and let it dry.


I glued the leaves down first.  I put foam under the parts of the leaves that hang off the top layer because it's on foam.


I love all the layers on this card and I know my friend would've loved it and said something sweet that always put a smile on my face.. I hope she can look down from above and see it.. and the lone purple flower just for her.  I brushed Wink of Stella Clear Glitter on the purple one.



On the inside I stamped some leaves and adhered the last flower ~ I also stamped a sentiment from the stamp set.



I used an Outlawz Sketch Challenge and flipped the sketch: SC071316  




*MEASUREMENTS:  I tried to scan it in, but couldn't get my scanner and laptop to talk to each other.. ever since being forced to use Windows 10 the two don't talk together very well!

card stock:  Neenah White. Black
pattern paper: Authentique Strong

Day 8. Copic Markers ~ SC070616 "HAPPY BIRTHDAY CUPCAKE" card using My Favorite Things stamps & dies *W/MEASUREMENTS!


Day 8 of #thedailymarker30day Coloring Challenge.   My Mojo returned today so I inked up and colored up what has to be one of my all time favorite My Favorite Things Pure Innocence images ~ she's called "CUPCAKE DAY!" oh my.. as soon as I laid eyes on her I had to have her. I placed my order the night of the release and she was at my house along with a bunch of other goodies within a few days.  I am in LOVE!!    


 Here is the inside of the card. I layered more papers and stamped the girl and the sentiment.



I had thought of paper piercing the girl's dress and after coloring her legs with my Copic markers, I had a little run .. so that confirmed I would paper pierce it. I used some new My Favorite Things papers on her dress.  Here are my images stamped, colored and cut out (dress).


Here's my girl after getting her dress all glued in place.. she's SOOOOO cute~!


I LOVE all the layers on this card.  It will be going postal tomorrow to the sweet granddaughter of a dear friend of mine. She is having some health issues.  Her birthday is Sunday ~ I hope she likes it.
