Copic Marker Scrapbooking - Mythology Release

Copic Marker Scrapbooking has done it again! Tonight a new line of stamps is being released unlike any I've ever worked with before. This set is illustrated by Guy Gondron and captures the true look and feel of many different mythology characters. I found these both challenging and amazing to work with... I loved coloring them with my Copics! They made me stretch my normal coloring techniques and truly work with the colors I have. I am thrilled to showcase just a few of them here on my blog, but you really should hop over to Making Our Mark and check out all of the AMAZING projects our design team created. I am honored to be among these talented and true artists!

You can find all of these stamps and may more in this set over at Making Our Mark. Plus a FREEBIE over there - all thanks to the talents of Guy Gondron.

A Dicken's Christmas stamp release - Copic Marker Scrapbooking

Over at Copic Marker Scrapbooking, the amazing and talented Guy Gondron is back with an awesome set of Christmas stamps. A Dicken's Christmas set includes a bunch of wonderfully illustrated images from this tale's of Christmas, past, present, future. Head over to Making Our Mark blog to see the design team's take on the images, plus you can even pick one of them up for FREE to wish you a Merry Christmas from Colleen and Guy!

I went a little bit different on my cards for this one - My "Frosty" card was just a creative jolt that hit me when I looked at the image. I made the old-fashion postcard, just using some old wooden stamps I had in my collection. Then the hat was colored with, of course, my Copics. I created the sentiment and water pool just using my computer and freehand. I added some crystal lacquer to the silk ribbon on his hat and the water, postage stamp cut it out and added it to the postcard. I think it will make my favorite aunt smile when she opens it up this year!

I colored the candle/lamp image before I even knew what I wanted to do with it... Then the biblical reference of the Psalm scripture kept resonating in my head. Well, I've learned over the years that isn't just a coincidence - that's the still small voice! So, that became the sentiment for my card. A simple layout, some homemade flowers and the image all stood so beautifully on the flocked cream and white background. This too will find it's way into the hands of a loved one.

Don't forget to head over to Making Our Mark to check out the other eye candy and pick up your freebie. I know you'll need the entire set after you see the detail Guy uses on his illustrations.

Craft Your Passion - #70 - Under the Sea

I can't believe I let this entire week slide by without a post - It's been a crazy one, that' s for sure.

I am excited to share with you this just released image from Simply Betty. Isn't she just the cutest? I've been working hard on my Copic techniques and love the way this one came out. I learned the background bubble technique just this last weekend when I took an online class from Making Our Mark. Great class and wonderful techniques shared! I wanted to keep it simple so that the amazing image was really showcased. So, all I did was add it to a scalloped card base that was covered with cardstock, added a sweet ribbon and bow, a quick sentiment and then came the bling! I kinda went crazy with the bling, but I think it worked!

Come join us this week over at Craft Your Passion Challenges. Our challenge this week is "Under the Sea" and I would love it if you would come share your talents with us.
