Thanks to everyone that joined in last week on my twenty-ninth week of cardmaking for the year. My goal for this year is to make one card a week, giving me 52 cards at the end of the year. I like to find challenges online to inspire me, but that doesn't mean you have to do the same! I just want to see what all you fabulous card makers out there come up with on a weekly basis. No rules, just sharing the fun of making our own cards!
I had lots of great suggestions for using more compatible ink for Copic coloring. I did try to dry the ink I used with the heat gun, but it still smeared. I ended up getting Adirondack archival ink to use in the future, so we'll see how that goes.
This week, I used the sketch from
CPS:
and the color combo from the
Play Date Cafe:
to create this little card:

| Credits: Neenah cardstock; Basic Grey papers; American Crafts wood veneer birds; Distress Ink |
Before you ask me where I got the sentiment, I typed it out in a Word document and printed it on the Basic Grey paper...easy!
Now it's your turn...I can't wait to see what gorgeous creations you link up this week!
super cute card...I use memento ink with my copics...it seems to work the best! doesn't smudge at all!
ReplyDeleteGreat!!!!! Just love those birds!!!!
ReplyDeletewhat a gorgeous card!!! those birds are adorable and the sentiment is perfect! ♥
ReplyDeleteps: memento was the ink the copic lady recommended at the class i took; i've used stewart superior's "india ink" pad as well, though, and it seems ok! :)
Your card is just adorable and SO sweet!

Really like your card, lovely design.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just {heart} those sweet, little birds, Patrice! And your sentiment is a perfect fit! Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at The Play Date Cafe!
ReplyDeletethis is beautiful! I wish I was a crafty person, i am terrible with my hands but now I feel like attempting something like this :)
ReplyDeleteJoining up again this week using the CPS sketch as well. There are some great cards here. You are getting lots of people playing along. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, and pretty colors. Lovely CAS card. Thanks for the visit and the sweet luvv. Hugs
ReplyDeleteLovely fresh and simple design!
ReplyDeleteLove your card and I'm doing better remembering to link up. ;) Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove the birds and sentiment! Thanks for joining us this week at the Play Date Cafe!
ReplyDeleteI also use Memento ink for my Copics. Be careful with the Adirondack, someone told me that it stains your pens but I haven't tried so couldn't say if it does/doesn't! What a 'tweet' card! Seriously a really fun idea, love it! Thanks so much for joining in the fun with us over at The Play Date Cafe!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the sketch! The birds are sweet and I love that you made your own cute senitment. I made my own sentiment too on the birthday card I linked up for this week. But I did mine with stamps. I'm sure your way was faster. I wanted the sentiment to match the wrapping paper I used to wrap the present. It said "So many candles, so little cake" Thought it was good for a 50th birthday. Hee Hee.
ReplyDeleteAack! So cute! Love those little birds, Patrice, and your printed sentiment. Fab layout too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing with us at The Play Date Cafe. :)
