Good morning everyone!  Today for 3D Thursday I am sharing a tall gift box I made using the Stamping Bella image, Uptown Bianca Loves Her Big Cake. Why a tall box, well I really wanted this image to fit on the box so I could use it for a birthday gift for a friend.  This is such a great birthday image, I just love it!

I used my copic markers to color the image.  The colors I used are, Cake: E25, E23, E31, E30, RV23, RV10, RV000, RV0000 and Bianca: E13, E11, E01, E000, C5, C3, C1, CB.

Thanks so much for stopping by,

Hi, everyone!  It’s Kelli here today with a card to share with you that uses the Some Odd Girl – Under the Sea Mae stamp set.  I can never resist cute little critter stamps so I knew I needed to make a card with the little narwhal.  I stamped him in Memento – Tuxedo Black ink and colored him with Copics:
C5, C3, C2, C1
Y35, Y23, Y13
BG07, BG02

I added a few extra grey spots with my C5 and C3 marker to his back, fin, and tail.

I wanted to play with some of my distress inks to make somewhat of a sea looking background.  I used Broken China and Peeled Paint and put the ink onto my craft sheet directly from the pad.  I spritzed it with some water and then set my watercolor paper into the puddles. I dried it and then quickly tapped it into some of the less diluted ink puddles so there would be some darker spots.  I added some droplets of Mister Huey’s – Heirloom Blue spray right out of the bottle instead of from the spray nozzle to get the teal blue droplets.  I really love how this turned out and can’t wait to do it again in the future.

I heat embossed the sentiment in black onto some vellum and tore the top of it to imitate waves.  I added a strip of Bazzill – Easter Grass and Candy Necklace cardstock behind it so the sentiment would stand out better.  I then sewed the vellum to the cardstock and also sewed my background piece to some Bazzill – Licorice Twist cardstock.  The card base is also from Bazzill and the color is Candy Necklace.

To finish everything off I added some Glossy Accents to the narwhal’s spots and tusk.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a great day!  🙂

Don’t forget to enter the three awesome GIVEAWAYS we have going on!

Michelle here…and today I’m exploring another way to choose your Copic Colors!  Instead of matching my colors to the colors in my designer paper…I simply chose a paper I liked from My Mind’s Eye’s BlueBell collection and went with a monochromatic color scheme for  my Magnolia Bouquets with Love image.  This allows me to pick a few colors I like to add a color POP.

Another quick tip….it seems to me that cards look more formal and less like a notecard when you orientate them vertically vs horizontally!

Copic Markers:  BG75, BG73, BG70, YG17, YG25, R85, R83, R81, R29, YR07, YR15, YR16.
