Share a drink with me!

Hi there!  Once again I can't believe that it has been so long since I put anything in the blog.  Crazy with stuff going on.  How does life go by so fast?

I am really excited to say that I am now Copic Certified!  I completed the course on Monday, March 14, 2011 with Sherrie Siemens.  She is awesome!  Watch for the blinkie on this page soon.

I made this card for my wonderful better half for his birthday.  You are the best honey!  I am really happy with how the coloring came out on this.  I also kept the card really simple.  Time and he isn't the flower and ribbon type!

Of course this was colored with Copics!
Hearts - RV 09, 13; R 29, 37
Her shirt and hair bow - R 85, 83, 81
His shirt - B 97, 95, 93
Her hair (I think) - E 18, 39, 99; YR 23
His hair (I think) - E 29, 25, 31

I did the background using BG 0000, 000; B 00, 04.  I love how this came out.

I would love to hear your comments and questions if you have any.

Eighty Six

I have a special card for my very beautiful 86 year old Mom! 

I used Copics of course and colored her with BV's.  Unfortunately, I do not have the specific colors that I used.

This is the Cake Card idea from Stempelmaleins blog.  They have some absolutely incredible info on their site so check them out.

The interior with the "cake" and candles.

The little box on the left holds 6 candles and then you can place them in the holes in the top of the "cake".  These cannot be lit!  Never!  Still very cute card idea and what a perfect idea for 86!  You go Mom!!
