Kimm's Copic Challenge


Kimm Bennington-Thompson has a copic challenge on her blog. I've had this little hAnglar image colored up for almost a week and finally got a chance to turn it into a card. The original copic colors for the challenge were BG15, YG06 and RV09. I didn't have all three but came close to the colors. I used BG13, YG06, and RV14.....plus a bunch of others to complete the image. I hope you enjoy. Isn't this little 'bug' an absolutely darling image!! It is from a company in Sweden called hAnglar stAnglar and was shared with me from a friend in Sweden. I used a Signo pen to highlight the rosy cheeks, nestibilities around the main image and Pierceabilities to cut the yellow background and to pierce the hearts. The little green flowers are some gems I got at the LSS (local Stamp Store).

Kimm BT asked me if I would be on her copic design team. I really debated this as I have turned down other offers to be on design teams recently that had less requirements. Maybe she asked when I was particularly open? Who knows. BUT I did accept her offer. It is only a 6 month requirement and I thought I could handle that. I hope to be posting weekly with my copic colored card. I'll even try to throw in some of the Paper Temptress paper that I have on my creations. Patricia asked me to be on the PT design team and I just couldn't at the time. So, I'll unofficially give her some press with papers now and again!!

A Lovely Surprise!

Sometimes e-mails contain news. Sometimes it is pleasant and sometimes it isn't. Today........well, today was a very pleasant one!! I have a friend, Sharon Briss, who is a Technique Junkie friend. She has posted great art through the TJ yahoo group. When I see great art, I like to tell people! So......I'm going through my mail and here is an award. For Me? Wow. Sharon bestowed the Renee Award to my blog. The Renee Award was created by Bella (bellasinclair.blogspot.com) and Ces (cesandherdishes.blogspot.com) who wanted to show appreciation of the impact their friend Renee made on their lives.This award is meant, according to Bella, to be given to those that, like Renee, are like "the acorn, a small package becoming a tall and sturdy oak giving more acorns, becoming tall and sturdy oaks, giving acorns…". I am honored to receive this award! I do have a couple of people that have truly inspired me and I would like to pass along the Renee Award to these special artists! Please visit their blogs and see why they inspire me!! Since I'm fairly new to the blogging world, I only have two recipients but hopefully that will grow over time!!

Again......thank you, Sharon!!
