Today was the usual Sunday at out house and football was the main ticket. I love to watch football even more than my husband. Believe it or not. Another thing that has to be done on Sunday is check to see who has a birthday during the week. If they are my friends and are on Facebook it is mailed to me. Otherwise, I check my calendar and yes, there is a special friend who has a birthday this week. So I went to work and this is the card I came up with. Happy Birthday Cupcake!
The stamps is an endearing little girl with a cupcake! It is a Penny Black stamp entitled, “Sweet Thing”. I used brown and pink card stock by Brazzil and layered a 4 x 4 piece of of Love Blooms paper by Doodlebug on top. Next, I again used the brown and pink combination to frame the stamped image. Digging through some old cut outs I found the cup cake. Sorry, I don’t remember the paper or the die that was used to cut it out.
Copic Markers were used to color the image. Those colors include: RV00, RV02, BG000, BG02, BV0000, BV0, Y 11, Y31, E000, E01, E33, and E35. I used foam tape to pop the image as well as the sentiment. The lime green organdy ribbon and the cupcake just seem to finish it off. I know my friend will enjoy this card!
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
