Happy Saturday!

 

I don't know about you, but no matter how many Copics I collect, it still seems like I don't have enough colors!! I'm very matchy-matchy, and like to color my images to coordinate with my papers. So, when I didn't have the right shade of green Copics to go with this pretty striped paper from Martha Stewart, I improvised! I colored the turtle with a combination of Copics and Watercolor Pencils. If you want to see how, I created a simple tutorial here. Go easy on me... it's my first one! I just thought maybe someone out there hasn't tried this, and might benefit from me sharing! :)

 

So, onto today's card... the image is a digi called Turtle's Friend by Meljen's Designs. This card is for the Meljen's Challenge this week - to use pastels on your project; and also for the Flutterby Wednesday Challenge this week - a "LOVE" Recipe:

L = have 2 or more Layers (check!)

O = an Odd # of embellishments (check!)

V = use Violet on your creation (check!)

E = use any color EXCEPT red (check!)

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have the chance to get crafty this weekend!
