Shy Tilda and a Copic Class!



Well, it's Monday again....yuck. The start of another busy week. I work 6 days at the library plus I'm teaching three classes in the evening.....trust me, it wasn't planned that way! haha!! Oh well, I'll have to make sure that I get LOTS of sleep!

Today's card is actually the first one that I made with my favourite new paper for Copics....150lb Canson drawing paper. I just loved the way the colour laid down on this paper and the shades are less stark and blend better on this paper. You can read more about it here.

I stamped Shy Tilda on my new paper (I think The Town Scrapper might still have this stamp) using Memento ink and I used my Copics to colour and shade her. The papers I used are by Dream Street and all the cardstock is Bazzill Bling....I looooove me some bling!




I added some satin ribbon across the middle and a flower charm that came all the way from Switzerland from my friend Katharina. I pop dotted the main layer and added a couple of pink brads. So soft and sweet.



I'll also share with you one of the cards that we'll be making tonight at a Copics 101 class that my pal Andrea and I are teaching at Scrappin' Great Deals. This one used Odie by High Hopes. It's a very simple card because we are focusing on the colouring and learning how to use the Copics in different ways. You can see one of my other designs for tonight HERE....you'll actually be making 4 awesome designs...these are just a couple. We taught this class on a Saturday, but we are reteaching it tonight for those who needed a weeknight class. If you'd like to join us for some colouring, some papercrafting and LOTS of fun, just call Sheila at the store....there are only a couple of spots left!




Okay, well I don't work at the library until this afternoon, so I'm going to prepare everything for tonight's class and package up some of my cards to sell in the store. Then I'm going to try to work on some samples for the new Lizzie Anne Designs release and the sneak peeks start on Wednesday!!! Hahaaaaaa!
