Greetings and happy Saturday to everyone! Hope you're having a great weekend so far! I have been hiding out in the craft studio making a giant paper mess…oh, and a card! Today's card features the cute stamp set from Penny Black called Betsy Bluebell! The images are ADORABLE and so much fun to color. The sentiment is also from Penny Black. For this card, I chose my purple and green color scheme first and then got out the Copics…a lot of them! Surprising how a small image uses like, 100 markers! hee hee. Hope you likey!
Here's a close up of my coloring. To get her cheeks to look faint/flushed I colored her entire face with E000. I then lightly colored uneven circles in RV10 and RV00 for the cheeks. Then, I went back over the entire face a second time with the E000, even going right over the pink. Once it dries, it all kind of blends together. Her hair is about four shades of yellow and brown. The purple was achieved using the BV01, BV02 and BV04 combo.
I finished my two main images first and then had to decide what to do with them! Originally I wanted both on the front of the card, but it was just too much going on. So I ended up saving the smaller circle for the inside. They were cut out with my circle Nesties. The sentiment here is from Taylored Expressions. So cute!
Here is a picture of the stamp set and my Copic color palette:
I stamped the main image a second time and then cut out some of the flowers to give the card some dimension and more pow! I added ultra fine glitter to the butterflies and the flower centers.
Here is the inside of the card! The butterflies are part of the main image….so I inked up just those parts of the stamp to make it match!
I have to run for now! We have just enough time to get to the gym, work out, and get back in front of the TV in time for the massacre Cal vs. Oregon football game. Say prayers for the Bears!
Enjoy your day!

Love this card – the colors are great together, and you are responsible now for moving that set up to #1 on my list!!
Yes, it is funny how you can use up half of your marker collection to color a small image…hee! You wouldn’t think you’d need that much! I love the color combos you used and the scalloped text sheets…fab card sistah!

The Bears played well…You did a great job with your copics!
What a super cute card, Wanda! Your coloring job is absolutely amazing. Coming from someone who doesn’t even own a single Copic marker, I am SO impressed. I wouldn’t have the slightest idea what to do. 😉 Love your design and the colors, and those layered scalloped text pieces are fabulous.
