I just adore them! I inked them up along with a bunch of other images from this set using Memento tuxedo black ink and then colored them in using the following Copic markers: Y06, Y35, YG11, YG23, RV000, RV00, RV14, RV21, RV29, E000, E00, E11, N0, N1, N2, N5, N8, B000, B00, B02.
To build my scene I die cut a piece of white card stock using the Memory Box Wrapped Scalloped die and then I blended a little Tumbled Glass distress ink for my sky. I then cut a strip of patterned paper for my ‘ground’ from the Echo Park Spring Fling paper pad and also die cut the grass from the same paper pad. I adhered the grass to the back of the ‘ground’ paper and then adhered just the bottom portion of the combined papers to the scene so that I could be free to place things in amongst the grass, like the cute mushroom. I adhered all the images to create my scene and then popped up the focal panel on a white card base. To finish off the front of the card, I stamped my sentiment using my Tim Holtz Stamp Platform. Now, just a little tip… I should have stamped the sentiment before I popped up the focal panel, but because I used the Stamp Platform I was able to stamp the sentiment a few times to get the crisp sentiment I wanted.
The sentiment on the front of the card just keeps you hanging so I just HAD to add to the inside of the card. I combined the patterned papers again to continue the design on the inside of the card. I added another gnome… I colored several since I was on a roll. LOL
And then I stamped the sentiment for the inside of the card. I decided to add the little clock to this gnome’s hand to tie in the sentiment… so cute! Now, I got to thinking you could leave the card like this basically saying that the card is the recipient’s birthday gift. Or…
You could slide a gift card in there for just a little something… a quick gift idea!
Here’s a close up of the scene on the front of the card… I went a little crazy with the flowers, but couldn’t help myself! So many cute images to color in this set!
Hi crafters and welcome. Today I am using the “Through Thick and Thin” stamp set by Gina K Designs to do some no-line Copic Coloring, which can be very scary.
I stamped my image using second generation stamping with a Copic safe Ink to give a very faint outline but one that I can see well enough to do my coloring. I did a bit of masking to stamp my flower and leaves multipole time.
I colored my flowers using a 4 color blend concentrating on the details within the image itself to guide me as to where I need to put my shading and details.
I created a drop shadow and a frame around my images and added my sentiment. I finished off the card with a few Dream Drops by Nuvo.

Hello crafters and welcome. I am sharing a card I created with the Gina K Designs stamp set called Whimsical Wildflowers.
I wanted to make this look like a chalkboard and honestly had no idea how to achieve that look. I experimented by stamping my image with white pigment ink and colored them in with my Polychromos. I dabbed on some of the pigment ink around my images with a dray paper towel and adhered my panel onto a white A2 size notecard.

Hello there! Crystal here with a couple of cards featuring the fabulous Echo Park Coffee Time stamp set! This stamp set is just the cutest! I love the mix of coffee and flowers in the set!
My first card uses just one of the sentiments available in the set… “Coffee makes everything possible.” Oh, yeah! I love it!
I paired the sentiment up with some of the fun Echo Park Coffee papers and a cool Paper House 3D Coffee Talk Sticker. A pretty simple card with fun layers!
My second card uses more of the stamps… I stamped the flowers a few times along the edge and then filled in some of the space with the cute mugs and the heart. I used the following Copic markers to color in the flowers ~ YG93, YG95, YG97, R00, R01, R05, R11, R12, R21, BV000, BV04.
I stamped the sentiment using Versamark watermark ink and then heat embossed a fine white embossing powder. I trimmed it down to a banner and popped it up on the card. I love the simplicity of this card. The copics bled through just a tiny bit since I didn’t do a lot of blending so I’ll just cover the inside of the card with a slightly smaller layer of white card stock, but this step isn’t totally necessary. I think it comes down to preference and maybe who the recipient is going to be.

Hi there everybody and welcome. Today I am creating a very clean and simple card using the Cup of Java stamp set by Penny Black.
Of course, we will be doing some Copic coloring but with a twist. I knew I wanted a center highlight for my cup, being it is a round object, but I did not want to have to worry about bringing out a ton of markers to achieve this. I first colored in my entire cup with cool gray markers with a highlight in the center. Then I added my colors. No shading, just added a solid color directly over the gray.
I added some striped on the side of my panel with my Copics and stamped by sentiment.
Quick and easy but a great way to practice your coloring.
Thanks for stopping by and have a creative and crafty day!!
Hello everybody. I hope you had a great Christmas. The holidays are just about over but Winter is still here. This month’s kit is the CUTEST for making winter themed cards with adorable little critters.
I stamped my image from the Sunny Studio stamp set as well as a mirror image and colored them with my Copic Markers. I used a circle die for my main image and adhered that to a piece of this Gorgeous pattern paper (the picture does not do it justice) and popped up my sentiment with foam tape.
Keep an eye out for more sneak peeks throughout the week and be sure to join us this Saturday for the blog hop and full reveal of the Flavor of the Month card kit.
