Big Mouth

Hi all, today's card is for all the people in your life that love to fish.

I started with the yellow cardstock and cut a square from the center them I layered the teal paper behind and cut a smaller square.

The fishing pole was stamped on the yellow cardstock with the hook going over the edge.

On white I stamped the 

Big Mouth Bass

I used the fishing pole to stamp the hook in the corner.

Then I used the Four Flower Background to add some color across the bottom.

Copic's were used to color everything.

The Jumping At The Chance was stamped onto white then the Four flower was stamped over the top. Using the Matting basic dies to cut it out and make a teal mat. 

Have a wonderful day,

Janett

This and That

Hi everyone, I know I have not been posting very much these days but life has taken a hard turn and I had to put my priorities in order. We were doing some much needed remolding on the house in the middle of all that I had to put my Daddy on Hospice. So now everyday is a new challenge. Some days I stamp  some I don't but lots of the time there is know time to take photos or do blog post . So today I wanted to catch up on some post of things that I have had for awhile.

First up

A few months ago I got one of those Copic sketchbooks. I have not done a lot but I do enjoy working in it, I am using it to keep up with Copic color combinations.

One thing I have learned is to place a piece of scrap paper behind the page that I am coloring because it will bleed through to the next page as you can see on the page with the strawberries.

In the past when I have posted card I have said that I colored ribbon with Copic markers and I though I would try and show you how I did this.

This is what I use Seam binding, 97% Alcohol I a spray bottle You can use colorless bender but the alcohol is a lot cheaper and you can get it at Walmart.

I use the chisel tip to color the ribbon.

 If you want the shabby look spray with alcohol and scrunch. You can use a baggie or gloves for this part to keep the ink off your hands. The Alcohol is also good for removing the ink from you hands and to clean up.

I hope you can use some of these tips.

Have a wonderful day,

Janett
