Happy World Card Making Day!!!

I wish that I could host a WCMD gathering of all my favorite card makers today ... of course, you would all be included!  and of course there is a SALE for that at Ellen Hutson, LLC!


There are a few stamps that I haven't inked up near enough - I decided to remedy that - with this bit of coloring for World Card Making Day


There are so many coloring geniuses in our crafty world - Jill Foster of Penny Black is someone I really admire.  This week,  I watched, and watched for hours - hoping I'd catch on! lol  Well, I'll never get better without practice, right? 

I found a great deal on the Arteza TwiMarkers Jill used this week. 
With the proper paper, I found they are wonderful! 
These are the colors [from the set of 100] I used.

I also decided my Copic skills need practice, too … here's how I colored this gorgeous Bouquet Ballet for Fall:



I hope you're able to celebrate WCMD in some way … and thanks for including me in your day!

  2. Happy WCMD to you, too. These two cards are gorgeous. That bouquet is a real winner in both mediums you've used. And I'm crushin' on that orange cardstock.

  7. Thud! These cards are stunning, Michele. You nailed it on the coloring. Wowza! Happy thoughts, happy heart just looking at them. Thank you SO much for sharing your talent. I tried to color a little bit, but realized that the ink I decided to try isn't Copic friendly. Drat. Have to start again, but my old eyes gave out on me. Soon(I hope)! Hugs!
