Testing my new Copic's

This is the first card I have done trying out my new Copic's, they are going to take a bit of getting used too an I have only got just over a dozen, and no browns so her hair is with my Prisma pencils. I really enjoyed using the markers so now I need more!!! lol, isn't that always the way, more copics, more paper more more more lol.
I would love some help/advice on using them, an some feed back on my first attempt, so please leave me a message, good or bad (but be nice to me lol), the Magnolia - Tilda's are so easy an fun to colour they were perfect for my test run, what do you think?

Magnolia Down Under Challenge #26 - A Sketch.

Over at MDU the Challenge is 'a sketch', and the DT have done an awesome job and are such an inspiration. I have used this gorgeous Tilda, sent to me by an equally gorgeous friend- mwah),I have used this gorgeous gold shimmer CS from Bazzil, an the DP is from K& Company and you can't really see in the photo but it is also shimmery and the gold in it is beautiful (the mainly gold DP is 'Madeline Paisley Leaves' an not sure what the name of the mainly coloured DP is, they are from the same range). I have used a Prima flower that has been brushed with Rub n Buff - 'gold leaf' as has the swirl and embossed 'Collection' chipboard branch, the 'Collection' chipboard Butterfly is covered with the K& Company DP an then glossed with Glossy Accents and a couple of Kaiser Pearl Rhinestones added. The scalloped border is done with my Fiskars punch, an Tlda coloured with my Faber-Castels. It was such fun as always.
hugs to all.x

Sue's Tuesday at 'The Stamp Spot'

Well it's Tuesday again, which means it's my day at 'The Stamp Spot', I have had such a busy past week with the grandchildren an then getting a migraine which knocked me for 3 days an now I off to work, that I really didn't have much time to do a card, so this card using 'The Greeting Farm' - 'Skater Ian' is just a really quick simple card, using products from my DT pack from Marcia, so everything is available over at 'The Stamp Spot on-line Store'. It also goes to show that not all cards need to be complicated with lots of embellishments. Have a great week every-one.
