Think Pink!

Hello Everyone!!  October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the team at Copic Oz are having a challenge to use your Copics to create a PINK PROJECT!  For EVERY entry, $5 will be donated to the McGrath Foundation to support women with Breast Cancer!  Come play with us and help support this very worthy cause!!!  You can find all the details HERE!!!

I've made my card with a base of pink bazzill and layered with white (cut with Romantic Rectangle Nestabilities).  Next is a piece of Kaisercraft Tigerlily DP.  Around this I've added a piece of white edged ribbon and I've coloured the edges with RV52 Copic Marker to make them pink!  The next panel is more white cut with Lacey Oval Nestabilities and layered with more Tigerlily paper cut with Large Oval Nestabilities.  My feature is a t-shirt with the Breast Cancer ribbon in the middle, both are stamps from Flourishes Think Pink stamp set.  The shirt is coloured with G40, G43, G46 and the ribbon with RV00, RV52, RV55.  I've cut the shirt out with scissors and popped it up on some X-press It High Tack Foam Tape.  The sentiment has been stamped on white and cut out with Fancy Framed Tags Shapeabilities and matted with pink cut with the matching die.  To finish I've coloured some clear rhinestones with RV66 Copic and also made them pink!!!

I've created my card using a base of pink bazzill, old olive and white, topped with three panels of Papermania Rose Garden DP.  Across the bottom panel I've added a strip of pink punched with Deco Fan punch and topped with ivory satin ribbon, bow and the large single butterfly from Botanical Butterflies.  The butterfly has been stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics (RV000, RV32, RV34, E53).  My feature panel is pink bazzill cut with Labels 22.  I've used old olive cut with Lacey Circles and the floral panel also from Botanical Butterflies which has been coloured with Copics (RV000, RV32, RV32, G20, G21, G24, E50, E51) and popped it all up on foam tape.  I've finished with three pink pearls.

Happy Birthday Fella!

Hello Everyone!  Today my Grandfather turns 93yrs old and this is the card I made for him!  To cut a long story short, due to a speech error during my childhood, I've always called him 'Fella'.  Fella has ALWAYS loved cricket, as a young man he played and still loves to watch it on TV.  So, when I saw this stamp by Papermania, I knew it would be perfect for his card this year.  :) 

The base is made of green bazzill and layered with white and then a piece of dark green Basic Grey Marjolaine DP.  Next I added two panels of more Marjolaine (which of course when I added all the stuff over the top you can't really see that there are two panels, never mind!!).  I stamped the Cricket Player from Papermania's Nostalgia Pastimes in Memento Tuxedo Black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured with Copics (E000, E00, E01, E02, E11, E40, E41, G82, G85, C1) and cut it out with Labels 18 Nestabilities.  Next I stamped the sentiment from JustRite Stampers' Just Because set onto white and cut it out with the Happy Everything Mini Tag Kit die.  I adhered this to a piece of DP that has been cut with Ribbon Tags Trio Three and matted it with green bazzill cut with another of the Ribbon Tags Trio Three dies.  I've popped this up over a piece of white grosgrain ribbon.  (This card would also be perfect for this month's CopicOz challenge to make a sporty card using your Copic Markers!)

Stamps - Nostalgia Pastimes (Papermania), Just Because (JustRite Stampers)
Paper - X-press It Blending Card, Green Bazzill, White, Basic Grey Marjolaine DP
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories - Copics, Label 18 Nestabilities, Ribbon Tags Trio Three Spellbinders, White Grosgrain Ribbon, Foam Tape.

That's all for now, thanks for visiting!!!  :)
