DID YOU EVER JUST HAVE ONE OF THOSE DAYS?

Happy Sunday, I am back with another post and some sad news. Due to the awful weather that we had yesterday, I was unable to walk in the 5K as planned. At just about the time the race was getting started, it started to storm. All day we were in an emergency weather situation. Any outdoor activities in the state were cancelled or postponed. And to be honest I am just not a person who likes getting wet out of the shower. So, I had a lot of time to stay in and play with my papers and Copics and listen to the weather all day long. There  were several deaths from this storm that covered not only my state but, also a neighboring state. My prayers go out to those familys.

My card was made using a Mo's Digital Pencil image, it is called summins wrong. I think I got that right. It is also for Mo's challenge, which is a recipe challenge. 1 ribbon, 2 buttons or brads and 3 designer papers. The second challenge is at Secret Crafter it called for distressing and I am getting a lot of practice with distressing in the last couple of weeks.  Well here is my card. I am really not happy with my skin tone on this image. So please be gentle with me. I can't wait until I can find a copics class to take. I have just been making it up as I go along. I looked at one of the Susan Dean tutorials last night and I am going to give it a try. I really hope to get much better at this.

I love this image and I got it, but was not sure what I was going to do with it. Well this worked just fine. Mo has the most wonderful images and she has something for every occasion. you should go by and check her out. If you have never used a Mo image, you will start to.

I colored this image with my copics. And I am sitting here unable to find the list of what I used. The papers are from My minds eye home collection. The brads are from my stash and I used Versa Magic Dew drop ink Aegean Blue to distress the edges. These are some of the prettiest colors. and so compact. The brads are from my stash and the black ribbon also. The sentiment I wrote on my computer. I thought it just went so well with the image. Well that is it. When I find I copics list I will come back and add them. I hope you like my card. And would love to hear from you.
