Hey there, sadly, this will be my last Copic class at Memories of Time in Coos Bay. The store is closing. *sniff* In case anyone is interested, I'm considering having classes in my new crafty space once we move and get settled...we are buying another house and expect (fingers crossed) to close October 26th! I'm trying to be patient, but it's super hard! *wink*
Now onto my project...I wanted to create a Halloween banner using some C.C. Designs images and dies. I love, Love, LOVE how it turned out! Pictures just don't do this one justice! The super cute trick-or-treaters were stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, die cut then colored with Copic markers. Oh, how I've missed coloring! CCD's banner dies and jumbo alphabets are absolutely perfect for a project like this! Now that I've got this one done, I want to make more! LOL
This first panel uses an Impression Obsession haunted house border die that I thought would be perfect teamed up with the witch. It was cut twice...first in black glitter card stock then in Neenah. The glitter card stock was getting lost in the starry night sky, so I decided to offset it with white creating a shadow. It worked!
Here's a close up.
The second panel is super simple. Taylored Expressions spiders and spiderweb along with the first letter is really all it needed. I could have colored more of the CCD kids, but I didn't want it to be too busy.
Moving on, I think this is my favorite panel! That little guy belly laughing is seriously the cutest! Keeping with the "shadow effect", I went ahead and cut all of the letters twice as well.
Another close up.
Next up, one more basic panel. Again, another Taylored Expressions spider web. Taylor's ghosts were the perfect size and they look awesome peeking around the last of the letters.
Last up we have our little batty friend. Another Impression Obsession die gives the perfect backdrop to this little one running from the haunted graveyard. OMGosh, too cute!
Last close up.

Hey there, bet you're wondering whatever happened to me, huh? Well, I've been around...just not getting crafty...until yesterday, that is! Em, from Stampingbella, invited me to be a Wonderful Wednesdays guest designer for the month of October. You know what that means, right!?! I'll be around for at least one month before I disappear again! *grin*
Tiny Townie Patricia Loves Pumpkins was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers. How cute is she!?! Seriously! The sunflower is an older Susan's Garden die. It's a little big, but I thought it would be perfect to go with the pretty sunflower in her hair. A Clear Overlay pen from Spectrum Noir was used to put a little sparkle in the bees wings and the ruffle on her dress. I'm not going to lie...it was nice blowing the dust off my Copics! I guess that's it for me today...check back next Wednesday to see what I've been up to!

Hey there, this week's CAS challenge, Let the Background Talk, is all about open space with a burst of color. I decided to break out My Favorite Thing's Out of This World stamp set and create a sponged galaxy background.
On a 4.25" square piece of Neenah Solar White, I sponged Memento Pear Tart towards the corner. From there, Summer Sky, Danube Blue, Paris Dusk and finally Tuxedo Black was sponged onto the background panel. When it was done, a paint brush was used to speckle water drops onto the panel. Then white acrylic paint was thinned down with water, speckled and set aside to dry. While it was drying, the spaceship was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White, cut out with the coordinating die then colored with Copic markers. A clear glaze pen was used for a nice, subtle shine on the window. The medium sized circle frame was used to create the track for the spinner card. So much fun!

Hey there, happy Sunday! Just popping in for this week's CAS challenge. This time it's all about birthdays!
The lilac is a Susan's Garden die. Love how realistic the flowers are! The sentiment was embossed on vellum and attached to the back of the MFT frame. The ladybug was made with Viva Perlen-Pens...so fun!

The image was stamped with Tuxedo Black onto Neenah Solar White then colored with Copic markers. I went with a super CAS layout using a Taylored Expressions Cloud border die. I dug into my stash of Doodlebug Flower Box paper to complete the design. Easy peasy!
