My TAC girl

Well, I have been gone quite awhile, but now I'm back!

I have a Copic class to give Saturday which might be today so I thought I would show you my copic girl.  The stamp comes from The Serendipity magalogue which came out this winter. The stamp set number is T-3254 and is called Wonder and Joy.  What a great set! There isn't one stamp that I don't adore!

The paper is from V-700 Rockin Roxie Matchbook kit. I layered a light pink behind the girl and placed the thing on white card stock.

I used quite a number of copics, So let me list them for each section of the card.  First let me tell you that I used Neenah Crest for the Copics along with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

The Balloon, I used: Y11,13,17 then I used a white colored pencil on the highlight AFTER the copics were dry. The string was done with Y17 and the colored blender to soften the brightness.

The Hair, I used: E 33, 37 ,44

The skin, I used: E 0000, 00 and R08.  I love her cheeks.

The top, I used R81, 85.

The pants, I used R 91, 93 and 95.  I used the white colored pencil  in the middle of each leg. I used it mostly on her knees.

Well, I sure hope this means my muse is back!!!  Hope to see you soon!!!

Make-n-Take for 7-3-09 Demo

This TAC fun shop had 14 confirmed guests. Two dropped out and three showed up. So I prepared 12 kits for the fun shop. I was so excited that I came up with a great card. (I am not usually this excited about cards I make.) I am still waiting for orders from 2 people so I guess it was a flop but I came away exhilarated knowing that it was the demo I ever gave.

I busily cut out all the card stock for the ladies and all they had to do was paste, stamp, color and USE the Crop-a-dile. I taught them how to use Gamsol with their prismacolor pencils and they wound up being very surprised about the difference the Gamsol made. I gave a little lesson on blending colors but they need practice, as I did when I started. Everyone but the hostess feared the crop-a-dile but loved it after I demoed it and they used it. They did have a blast and asked me if I would do more. I will have to think on that one.

So anyway, the card is called a triangular gate fold card. It was not easy to cut out at first but I got the hang of it and it zipped along. I used cording and glued the ends so they wouldn't fray. The center piece of the flower is a circle punched piece of the triangle paper. The stamp that I used was the sunflower in the set called "Flowers and Holly".

Well, that is all for today unless I get my swap done for "Anything goes".
