You Perk Me Up & You're the Best

 Hi everyone! Almost time for the weekend - any big plans? I'm going to a glass artist show on Saturday and then to my daughter's for a cookout on Sunday. Kids go back to school next week - Summer always flies by!

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Time Out #295 - Mood Board

Creative Knockouts - Use Your Favorite Embellishments (die cuts and gemstone stickers!)

Pammie's Inky Pinkies - Anything Goes

Passion for Markers - Anything Goes/Optional Spots and/or Stripes

Color Hues #116


Papers are from Doodlebug Design. Stamp set is an old one from Stamping Bella  - I stamped with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored with Copics and fussy cut, then attached with foam dimensional tape. I stamped the sentiment with Blueprint Sketch Oxide Ink and embossed with clear embossing powder before die cutting. 

.............................

One more for today - this one is for the following challenges:

As You Like It - Favorite Coloring Medium (and why)

My favorite coloring medium is now Copic markers. I've spent a lot of time playing with them and learning to use them for shading and layering, etc., and I LOVE the depth of color and shading capabilities you can create!!!

Creative Inspiration - Anything Goes

I Love ProMarkers - Anything Goes/Optional Inspired by a Film

Color Throwdown #839

Sweet Sketch Wednesday #308

I used paper from Doodlebug Design for the background, stamping the sentiment directly on it with Candied Apple Distress Ink. I die cut the envelopes, coloring the hearts red with a Copic marker. I stamped the image from the New Swissie Love set from CC Designs with Versafine Black and embossed with clear embossing powder. I colored her with Copics and a white gel pen, fussy cut, and attached her with foam dimensional tape.  I think this was my favorite color combination from Color Throwdown! Peace.
