Mojo Monday #79

Hello Everyone and Happy Tuesday to you. This week I have done the Mojo Monday Challenge and REALLY love this sketch. I've even put it in my sketch organizer. She is a real beaut, and I hope you take a crack at this sketch too. On with the show... I decided to do a cheery, happy card. I find that I am usually drawn to darker colors for the drama, but wanted to pick something on the brighter side. For the CS I used Basic Black, Very Vanilla, Old Olive and a Turquoise that I had in my scraps. This turquoise has sparkles YEAH!!! I also used a real purdy matte from the DCWV All Dressed Up Stack.
For the background on the Very Vanilla, I thought I would try my hand at making one, so I used a few different stamps. A swirl heart SU background, Flourish from Autumn Leaves, and both Cerulean Azure and Chartreuse Leaf Nick Bantock Inks. Then I colored in the hearts with a black Glaze pen. Quite pretty if I do say so myself. What do you think?
Then the flower image was stamped with Onyx Versafine on the Vanilla and layered on that sparkly Turquoise CS. I finished the card off with a Organza black bow and a Acrylic definition sticker.

Did I make the cut with this card turning out Happy? Hope you enjoyed my little creation today. Thanks so much for stopping by and...
Happy Crafting

  11. Wow, what gorgeous colors! Lovely, elegant card. Regarding copics, I love them. I used prisma colored pencils and gamsol for quite some time as my coloring mechanism, but the colors just weren't as bright as I would have liked and having to constantly sharpen the blending stumps got a little tiring. I went to a friend's house one day who had some copics and I just fell in love. I have been purchasing mine very slowly becuase they are a bit pricey. I did a lot of research before purchasing so I could make sure I got the best colors for my money. I'm happy to send you some color suggestions if you decide to go with copics. If you like to color line item images a lot, I would defintiely recommend copics. Hope this helps :)
