I'm having so much fun with Rupa's adorable new set! Wait until you see all the fun and cute images and sayings. I know you will love them.
You know how much I love to color and these are just perfect for my new Copic markers.
I used my 3 Warm Gray markers to color in the elephant. When you are trying to blend the layers of markers remember to go back over the darker lines with the lighter marker to help blend all the layers together.
I found that cute little flower at Targets dollar spot (It's a brad, and darn it I only bought one set! I'm gonna run over there and purchase more.)
I added some Rhinestones that are available at Gina's store, some diamond glaze and diamond dust on the blanket on his back.
The front of the card is a panel that I hinged using 2 small pieces of black card stock. When you open it up you get another cute saying from Rupa's set.
I know it's hard to see, but I added some glue along the outer edges of the white front panel and some glitter.
You need to hop on over to see more wonderful samples from the design team
And you have a chance to win one of the new sets at
Tomorrow I will be posting a watercoloring tutorial. So please check back....big hugs.
Wow, this looks like a really great set. Your card is brilliant! I love that tab with the brad flower.
