MO'S INSPIRATION

Happy Sunday everybody, I am finally here with something to post for the week. It has been a very busy week and weekend. But, here I am. Yesterday, I attended an advanced copics class at my favorite scrapbook store.  It was taught by  Christine Ousley, she is on the design team for Simon Says Stamp and the design team for My Scrapbook Mania, which is the store I love. The class was more on coloring and blending and we also made a scrapbook page so I learned some new techniques and the need to practice, practice. So now more than ever I am looking forward to getting Copic certified. I am just waiting for a class to come my way.

On, the way there it rained cats and dogs. If, you knew me, you would know that I hate driving in the rain. The reason being, that a few years ago I was run off the road by an 18 wheeler pulling 2 trailers. My fear of being on the highway during a storm is huge. But, lets not talk about that. After getting back to town, I stopped by Hobby Lobby, they have gotten some new product in the store. They got some of the new Spellbinders in and Tim Holtz new inks and papers (there is actually a whole section for Tim Holtz). They also got some of the new Cuttlebug folders. I think they got some new stamps but it was hard to tell. I did not check to see if they had any new flowers or ribbons. They  have a 40% coupon this week. And no where on it does it say that Copics are excluded. Although they only have 1 green color that I don't have. I may go ahead and buy it this week. After I get 2 of the new Spellbinders. I can't wait.

Anyway, on to my card. first of all, I have used a Mo's Digital Image to go along with their inspirational challenge:
Aren't these colors and elements gorgeous. The sketch that I used is from Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturday





The card was colored with Copics E53, E51, E50, E25, Y17, Y35, YR14, Y38, YR65 and a spica glitter pen; peach. The paper is Bazzil for the card stock, the DP is My Minds Eye Home. The wings were done with diamond stickles the image is by Mo, and she is fairy #3 (I think). I used my Nestibilities to cut the image and mat for the image. The flowers are prima. The sentiment is an Inkadinkado stamp. The corrigated card board was bought with the color on it when I first started scrapbooking. The inside of the card was embossed using the birthday folder from Cuttlebug and the sentiment is a stamp from Paper Inspirations, I think it was bought at Michaels. I use it all the time I really should remember this. The colors just happened to be perfect. I will be entering this card into the following challenges.

Flutter by Wednesday Fairies, butterflies or Angels
Crafty Creations Winged Things
Fab N' Funky Your favorite colors (I chose these colors because my apartment is painted Burnt orange around the fireplace and one wall in the dining room, sage green and tan or taupe on other walls and I love the way it looks) these colors are just a variation of those.
Secret Crafters What are girls made of (this card is nothing if not girly)
Sweet Stampin' challenge blog use your favoite image or stamp ( this is to hard, but Mo is one of my favorite artist.   And I do love this image.
Kah-Wink-E-Dink Digi use your favorite digital image (Again Mo is one of my favorite digital artist so this image does it for me (how am I supposed to choose a favorite when I love so many)
Simple Doodles Lets celebrate (what is a birthday if not a celebration)
And last but not least Stamp Something Fairy Tales (I think fairies come from a long line of fairy tales)

Well this is my first card of the week I will be back later with the second.  I hope that you enjoy it. It was so much fun to make.
