Just Inspirational Welcome back blog Hop

 

Hello and Welcome to the re-launch of Just Inspirational Challenges and our Blog Hop. We have lots of sponsors and lots of prizes up for grabs. Full rules are on the main blog here

I used a great image from our sponsor Sassy Studios Designs

 

 

This is the Inspirational photo we all used on the blog hop

and here is my card

and a close up of the coloured digital stamp

 

Copics Used

Skin E50,E51,E53 Blush E93

Dress, Gloves and shoes  V01, V04, V06

Tooth picks E51, E53, E55

Hair Y21, Y23, E33

Eyes G17, G25

Glass BG0000, BG000, BG 02

and white Molotow

 

My card was inspired by the colours from the inspirational photo. I have incorporated the purple, Red yellow and orange colours from the tulips, in the dress, olives and hair tones. The green leaves from the tulips are also represented in the olives and eyes. The blue sky in the glass and the sunlight in the reflections of the glass. It was a challenge to incorporate the colours from the inspiration photo as it pushed me out of my comfort zone with the colour choice, as these colours are not colours I would usually colour with, but they worked well in this fun and Sassy card.

So in order to win 4 digital images from Sassy Studios Designs all you now have to do is leave me a comment, visit my teamies below

Copic accreditation

I have been meaning to put these photos up for awhile. Earlier in the year my Wonderful boss from Scrap 2 relax sent me on a 2 day course to receive my accreditation it was an amazing weekend and even though I have been using copic's for awhile I still Learnt a heap of new techniques. Karen meet up with me on the second day of the course to also complete her accreditation with the wonderful Mandy-Lee

Scrap 2 Relax May ATC swap

I love being apart of ATC's swaps I find them really inspiring. Helps me to get my crafting Mojo flowing. I started taking part of Scrap 2 Relax's ATC swap a while ago and next months theme is oriental. As I started making these cards I had a completely different idea in my head but then as it goes I couldn't find the right stamp set and as I was frantically looking for the particular stamp set which I must add is still Missing in Action I come across this beautiful paper pad song Bird by Graphic 45 and was inspired to drop my hunt for my missing stamp set and use the very oriental papers instead. Although this swap is nothing like I intended. I am really happy how it turned out. Even in a messy craft space you can find Inspiration.

I am not dead yet!!!

Hi Everyone,
It's been quite a while since my last post not much of a blogger I must admit but I just wanted to let you all know that I am not dead yet!!!!. In fact I have been very busy with some extra training. I have been teaching copic coloring at a wonderful store in Drouin called Scrap -2-relax I was very lucky to be given this position and I have been really enjoy the classes with some very talented and clever ladies.
I also had the privilege thanks to Karen at S2R to do my basic and intermediate copic training and I am now a certified copic designer it was a wonderful 2 day training course which was an excellent experience.
 Which brings me to why I have decided to blog again. I have really been enjoying my copic coloring but I need to start sharing my work so that I can grow my skills and share my love with other like minded crafter's. So I have challenged myself to start entering my work on a few of the challenges in blog land and to start blogging the cards I have been making since I started using alcohol markers and of course to try and keep this blog current with some interesting posts.
So bear with me lovelies I'll be back soon with my latest creation to share with you all.
