My First Lili of the Valley Stamp Using Copics

I thought I would try Lili of The Valley Stamps as they are extremely cute.  I also am trying to learn how to color with Copics instead of always useing Distress water coloring. This image seems to be easier to learn from BUT I cannot seem to get it shaded quit right. I have done Lili of The Valley on line coloring and also Suzzanne Dean's you tube tutorials. Both helped me out. Practice makes perfect, right!

Please share your ideas with me to help me figure out how to use the Copics better. I really appreciate your critiquing.
Thank you, Have a Happy Craft Day.

Trying To Get My Creativity Back

            

I loved this paper from Little Yellow Bicycle, you can do alot of things with it.

                                                     This card is my favorite sage green color but I think
                                                 I over did it with the pearls? I love the tea cup template
                                                 and the doily inside of it. This Tilda is so fun as she goes
                                                 anywhere.

                  I have ordered more Magnolia's as I have very few as you can see. I can hardly wait to get
              them, some of them are the new addition. Yeah.  I also received Lili of the Valley stamps this
              week.  I am in love with them too.Trouble, so much trouble, another addiction. Oh Well,
              cheaper than therapy, right girls! Just having fun.

              Have a Beautiful Day

The Wedding Card

My oldest son gave me 8 days notice he was getting married this weekend.  Yeah I know, I begged for a different weekend or at least 1 months notice.  The last thing to do was their card and then I accidentally smudged ink around Edwin, so now it is distressed. Kind of how I feel.  In 2 hours we will be taking pictures and then the ceremony. It is small and in a town hall.  I only had to cook for 50 people. Yesterday afternoon I was told the person who was in charge of the bridal bouquet was sick and never ordered one. Too late to have one made so I purchased real flowers from the grocery store and made it myself.

Besides this impromptu wedding, we are committed to cooking and serving the homeless tomorrow at our church. This morning 4 of us made a hotdish and the trimmings for 60 people and then tomorrow we will finish, serve and clean up.  Then one of  my other sons' has a formal dance to attend Sunday evening and I will need to take pictures and provide transportation.

Everything happens at once in our home, its always been this way and I take it with humour.  God only gives me what I can handle and a supportive family to help me through it. Fun, Fun, Fun.

New Craftroom Additions

 Our Saltwater fish tank sprung a leak so I took the cabinet and made more storage for myself. My scor-pal and  Slice fits perfect on top and my Prima flowers are tucked away below inside.

 I was at the local craft store and had to have this display for my cards.  The chicken wire works great for clothes pinning on my cards. They look pretty and are out of the sun so they do not bleach out.

My closet is where all my paper storage, nestiblities, markers, inks, cuttlebug and cutting items are. To see more of my craftroom, please look at my first blog post 12/10. Thanks have a beautiful day.
