Copic and embroidery Birthday card

This card is for a very special sister -in- law. It is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2".
First I did some simple embroidery on all four sides using the colors I wanted to incorporate into my image. The image is done completely with Copics. Oh, I need so many more Copics so that my blending is better.  I then stamped Happy Birthday with my beloved Memento ink!

I hope you enjoy this. If you would like to see a close up of the card, please click on it.

BTW, I have so many sketch book pages to put up. I am really far behind on my postings.  It is on the list for this week but I have joined Pulmonary rehab at the Hospital and am going to Vegas Thursday and may stay overnight.  Lots of books to finish!  Got to get caught up because I am picking up more bookos on Wednesday after I go to the Doctors.

I have been moving things around and assembling new toys and have sprained my back.  This is going to be a fun week!!

See you all soon!

Birthday Card for a Friend

This birthday card is so long overdue. I tell myself every year that I am going to make Char a card and I never do. I feel badly because she is such a loving and giving person. This year I am really a stamper instead of a collector. This card was so much fun to make mostly because it is for her.

I used Amberly Grace SWIC paper V-840 and retails for $6.95, from TAC. The flower is a strip of the same paper as the background, scored every eighth of an inch and folded mountain then valley all the way. Then you glue the ends together from the inside out. I kinda squished the flower so it would form a tight circle flat on the desk. Then I glued a scrap of paper to the wrong side and then added the rhinestone.

Isn't the kitten adorable? I love this set.It is called "Playful Kitties" T-2655 and retails for $12.95. There are four images to the set.

I used colored pencil and Gamsol on the image. What a surprise!!

I am actually going to post a card that I used Copics on. Look for the last post of the day. Next up is a "side step card".
