BC195 - January Sketch

Happy Friday! - Today the BC Challenge group has this wonderful sketch for you to try out.  I had a blast with this card and sketch.


For starters I got to use 2 brand new items.  The stamps I used are from There She Goes - Love Birds set which I recently purchased.  What a sweet and cute little set. 

Next up I used these on my card:

Yep,  I made a big purchase (more on the way) with good old plastic money.  Why...because they were such a good bargain I couldn't pass it up.  I found them here: Along with the great discount on the Price I also received Free Shipping and an extra 15% off the price on this order and 10% on my 2nd order.  So while they are spendy I saved a bundle and just couldn't pass it up.
Okay please don't be to hard on me regarding the coloring because believe me I have a LONG WAY to go in my Copic coloring skills but we all have to start somewhere, right?  So without further ado here is my card:

Details:     
Stamps: There She Goes - Love Birds

Card Stock: Real Red, Tempting Turquoise.
Designer Paper: My Mind's Eye - Love Me Do line.

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copic Markers - Sorry I didn't write down the numbers I used.

Copic Spica Glitter Pen
Paper Piercing Tool

Ribbon:  Heidi Grace designs

Photo corner Punch: EK Success

Heart Gems: Hero Arts

Now be sure to pop in on the other BC Members Blogs to see what they have created using this sketch.

    Ida,
    Welcome to the world of Copics. They are fabulous and most importantly - FUN! I think your coloring is great. You'll get more comfortable with shading over time. If an opportunity comes up - go to a class. It really does help. Using them is not always intuitive.

    This is a darling card. I adore birds - especially whimsical ones. This card is great. Love the blue.
