Ok, for today's card you all are going to have to take it easy on me. It's another first for me... I've finally made the plunge into the Copic craze! I picked up a few of the Copic trios from Papertrey Ink and boy are they fun. I have no idea what I am doing, but I hope with practice to improve.
I kind of cheated on today's card and simply just scribbled onto each of the butterfly wings, from Butterfly Dreams. I really like the way it turned out though!
Tied some Summer Sunrise twill ribbon over the edge, attached a label from Fillable Frames #2 and a sentiment from Fillable Frames #1, then embellished with some black rhinestones.Thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a great day!

ReplyDeleteVery very cute card Maile!
ReplyDeleteMaile, I am no expert but I think you copics coloring is great! I am yet to take the plunge, I am still unsure of them. You did a fab job as always! Such a fun and cute card!
ReplyDeleteI like your copic scribbles!! They look great...gonna try this..TFS
ReplyDeleteGosh Maile, I spend hours colouring my images.....and you've prolly spent all up a minute on your flutterbys and they are fabulous!! LOL!! Perspective, huh.
ReplyDeleteI love this card - simple and yet lovely, colourful and fun!! xx

ReplyDeleteYou are going to be so addicted in no time to the Copics... how creative your use already!!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright way that you colored the flowers. Looks very arty with a splash of color!
ReplyDeletePretty card, Maile {as always!} Love the colors and the contrast :) Nice use of the copics!
ReplyDeleteGlad I got to introduce you to Ikea :) Thanks for the comment and posting about me! You are too sweet! Cant wait to show u what I did with the racks!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I like my copics but don't have much to color with. I need to collect some more.
ReplyDeleteI love how you used them on this card. Great job!!!
I absolutely LOVE how you colored these butterflies! Nice and "loose", if you kwim. And I agree with you, Ikea is such a fabulous store, full of fun stuff to buy and be inspired by :)
ReplyDeleteOOh, I always love yellow and black together, super bold combo!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love the way you colored the butterflies! I have tried the Copics out a little, but I'm still a little bit scared of them! I love the color combo! I have never been to IKEA, but my sister is always telling me how amazing it is in there! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of those cards that make me think: "I wish I could do that!". Deceptively simple, full of impact and delightful to the eyes!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Fabulous. Inventive. Unique. Bold. And absolutely fantastic! :) Love it!!
ReplyDeleteHi Maile,
ReplyDeleteI love IKEA! When my family was visiting CA last week, my mom and sister requested I take them to the nearest IKEA. They loved it.
I only own 3 Copics so far, so I barely started to use them. I love how you added color. Cute card!
Gorgeous card! I love the bright colors. I don't think I would have ever thought to do that with my copics :) Thanks for stopping by my blog!! I always appreciate comments:)
ReplyDeleteI love it, Maile! That kind of copic coloring I think I can do -- thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLove the bold colours of this card! I never would've thought to cut off part of the tag. I used a little inspiration from you in my post today! Have a wonderful Easter!
ReplyDeleteNo need to appologize, this is such a great way to use Copics!! You are brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a very very flattering card! Love it!
ReplyDeleteYou've been "blog spotted" by CARDS magazine!

Ikea *sigh* man, I love that place! I have my PTI buttons stored in their spice jars, they look so pretty! Almost as pretty as this card! Love the bright colours, so clever to add splashes of colour rather than colouring the whole butterfly!

IKEA!! How fun!! In Germany, I had one less than 30 minutes away and I would go there on Saturdays just to hang out! Here...they are so far! IKEA rocks.
ReplyDeleteI'm heavily flirting with the impression plates and Copics right now and I'm afraid I'll fall for them :-)
Beautiful card Maile! Love all of your work!
