As the holidays approach Christmas cards are where the interest lies. This easel card is not in the traditional holiday colors but motivated by Bo Bunnies Winter’s Joy. The stamp, Merry Bear, is from Stampavie’s Laurence Collection. This cute little bear is colored with Copic markers E31, E33, E35. I used YG6 and 17 for his bow and the holly, followed by V00, V01, BG00 and BG01 for the present. A little glitz was added by using Martha Stewart’s crystal glitter and Our Craft Lounge’s fluff for the snow. Nestiblities classic scolloped rectangles were used to cute the purple card stock behind the bear. A soft bow and the Bo Bunny brad just finishes it off.
The inside has a complimentary paper with the computer generated saying. The two brads are also from Bo Bunny and I cut the packages from one of the papers to add a little embellishment on the inside.
Hi, my name is Barbara Moore and both my husband and I live in Placentia, CA which is 36 miles south of Los Angeles. We have been married for 41 years and have a constant companion, Makano, who is a golden retriever. His focus in life is food.
After 42 fantastic years of teaching, I decided to retire and take up a new hobby -- making cards and coloring with Copic Markers. Once I used the markers, I was hooked!
During my years as a teacher, I was fortunate enough to touch the lives of so many children, parents and colleagues. Even though my curriculum was highly academic, the Fine Arts were a major part of program allowing my students to harness their own creativity.
I scrap, tole paint, paper craft, and have even dabbled in stained glass. Having found a great Copic’s instructor, Jennie Lin Black, I am now a certified Copic Instructor.
Bruce, Makano and I love to travel in our motorhome where I can take my Copics and Supplies along with me. I get the best of both worlds, vacations and relaxation. Thanks for visiting my blog, hope you come back.
Barbara
