Friday Sketchers Challenge #63

Here is a card I made for this week's challenge at Friday Sketchers.  The stamped image and sentiment are from High Hopes stamps.  I just got these stamps today so I was anxious to use them!  I coloured the image with Copic markers.  The patterned paper is from MME and the cardstock is from my stash (I think it is all Bazzill).  I cut the branch with the Storybook Cricut cartridge.  I also used some yellow skittles.   

Fairy Card / Flower Stand Card

Here are two more cards I made tonight.  The fairy card is made with a stamp from CC Designs and is coloured using Copic markers.  The girl at the flower stand card is made with stamps from High Hopes and is also coloured using Copic markers.  The flower stand card is the one that I didn't get finished at a card class at my LSS last week, so I brought it home to finish, and changed it up a bit.  

Copic Card Class

Tonight I went to my first Copics class at my local scrapbook store. The focus of the class was on colouring in stamped images with Copic markers. I didn't learn too many new techniques, but I did learn about drawing around the outside of your stamped image to make your image 'pop'. I did this on the bookworm bookmark. Of course I also ended up buying more Copics! I am just loving these markers!! All of the cards we completed tonight were made with High Hopes stamps. Their images are just adorable! Here are three of the cards I finished. I have one more that still needs to be completed. I didn't find there was quite enough time to finish all cards in the class. I would go to another class though.... the cute card ideas make the classes totally worthwhile!
