Like today. It’s too hot outside to do much of anything (and besides, after my little hissy fit when I couldn’t get my lawnmower to work this morning, I needed a little creative escape!) . . . so I colored a couple of images.
I needed a couple of cards to take to a little birthday party for twin sisters. One of the sisters has always been into more demure colors, the other into more vivid and bright colors. Same card layout, different papers and colors.
The stamp is one of Marcella Hawley’s illustrations for Flourishes (so appropriate, Marcy’s celebrating a big birthday today, too!), inked in Memento Tuxedo black and then colored with Copic markers. Easy, quick, still pretty.
This coming weekend, I’ll be in Spokane teaching a Copic Certification class. I can’t wait to meet everyone and get in front of a group again! Are you interested in attending a class? Here’s a list of coming classes:
