I'm Cuckoo For You

Hello all and happy Friday! I've got some Hero Arts goodness for you today, they sent me a box of goodies earlier this week and have been dying to play with them. So late last night, once I finished a few To Do's, I stayed up until 1:30 in the am (which I do too often!) creating a couple Hero Arts cards using the Cuckoo set...This cuckoo clock is just too cute and I just had to pull out the Copics! I've been doing a little practicing with my Copics and I love them! Think I'm starting to get the feel for them.
I love the way the woodgrain turned out using three different shades of brown, such a fun look.

Going for a CAS single layer card here...
Same idea as the card above, just no layering and colored directly onto the kraft cardstock. I really like how coloring onto craft gives you a softer feel.

So, I think I am officially a colorer now. Yeah! Hope you enjoyed today's cards and have a wonderful weekend. Will be back tomorrow to share a card using the brand new Wplus9 stamps (which will be available tomorrow as well).
