I have a Mother's Day card to share with you today. I know it's a little early but I've been working on Mother's Day cards for Operation Write Home, the deadline has come and gone, my package has been shipped & I still have cards to show.
I saw a tutorial on the Copic blog by Debbie Olsen for coloring tulips with some of the new 2012 Copic markers that I wanted to try. Wow, it was really fun to color this image with Debbie's color combination. I've had a really hard time using the red violet, violet and blue violet color families and feel more confident now that I can master them with practice.
The Copic markers used are: RV52, RV55, RV00, V22, BV34, G46, G43, G40, RV10, RV11, YR30, YR31, BG90, BG93. Papers are Via Vellum Basic Black & Leaf Green, Paper Mill Lavender, Astro Brights Galaxy Gold, Copic X Press It. Spellbinders circle dies, Darice embossing folder, Black half pearls. The Mother's Day sentiment was made on my computer using the "Pristina" font and the tulips are from a free coloring page site I found by "googling" tulip coloring pages.
