Copic Coloring with Waffle Flowers Gorgeous Magnolia

Hi everybody! I hope you had a great weekend filled with relaxation and crafty time. I spent most of my weekend sifting through our house and packing boxes as we are getting ready to move. Moving is a lot of work but it feels so good to purge and get rid of things that we don't need. That being said, I am looking forward to when I can spend my free time getting crafty again! 

I bought this Magnolia stamp from Waffle Flower quite some time ago and hadn't had time to have fun with it. I finally busted it out along with my copics for some coloring.

First, I'm going to have to apologize because I can't tell you exactly which color markers I used for this. Since we are moving I am making a huge effort to keep organized and put things away. Unfortunately, I put the markers that I used away before I could make note of which ones they were. I can tell you that I used a mix of V's, B's, BG's, and R's for the flowers... I love mixing unexpected color combos to see if I can get them to blend well.

After coloring the flowers and leaves I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and adhere them to my card base which was blended with Distress Oxides. I popped some of them up on foam adhesive to give the card more dimension. I also popped the sentiment up on foam tape.

To finish my card off and give it some sparkle I used my Glitter Gloss pen from Tonic Studios to color in the flower petals. You can just barely see the sparkle in the picture below but in real life the shimmer is fantastic. I also added some sequins from Simon Says Stamp (Moonshine) to give it a little bit more magic.

That's it for today you guys! It's late here in California and I've got to get to work in the morning so I'm off to bed now. I hope you all have a fantastic day and I'll be back here soon with another card. Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Waffleflower Crafts Meets Tonic Nuvo Mousse Background

Hey guys! Guess what? I have a new blog header...did you notice? I don't make big changes very often and the colors in my new header make grin stupidly so I'd say I'm pretty happy with it (Thank you for the pretty work Fancy That Jane!).

Today I want to share a card I made using a set from Waffleflower Crafts called Bouquet Builder 1 Combo. I love these long stemmed buds of flowers and I decided to color them in using my Copic markers (I can't remember which colors I used-I'm sorry!).

I wanted to do something different for the background so I decided to try sponging on some Nuvo Embellishment Mousse with a sponge dauber. I started by embossing my background piece. Then I light sponged the mousse over the raised areas of the background to make them pop (and shine because this mousse is so glimmery!). I got a little heavy handed in the bottom corner but overall, as long as I was careful, this technique was pretty easy to pull off.

Here's a close up of those gorgeous flowers... even the stems and leaves are beautiful. I colored and die cut two sets of flowers and then layered them to get a fuller look.

Here's a last look look at the full card. Have you tried out this Nuvo Embellishment Mousse yet? This was my first time using it and I found it really easy to work with. I just ordered a few more colors because there's a lot you can do with it. Aside from sponging it onto your cards, you can also use it with a mask like texture paste, watercolor with it, or even make your own custom spritzers with it. It's pretty cool stuff and I'm looking forward to playing around with it more now that I have more colors. I will add a link below just in case you're interested in picking some up for yourself.

Alright folks, it's late and I have work tomorrow. Even crazier than that, my son has his first job interview tomorrow and I need to go make sure I don't have to iron a shirt for him (Update: I ironed four shirts...). Fingers crossed he gets the job!


Good night!
