Happy Valentine's day! Today is February 14. I decided not use the card for MMSC #40 (see below) as my valentine's day card for DH. I wanted a more masculine card. I decided to try this upcoming week's sketch challenge (MMSC #41) for the layout. It took me all day to put this together. Mostly it took a long time to color the image and the sky. I actually dried out one of my copic markers (I am not sure what to do to refill it) as I made this. I didn't do the buttons as embellishments on the two corners as the buttons I have are too whimsical for the card. I thought the silver circle paper clip thingy was enough for the upper corner. I put the silver pearls on the bottom corner and off of the main image because I didn't want to hide my image. I pierced my paper on the green panel but felt it was a pain to do so I didn't do it on the gray panel. I used my silver gel pen to add the outlines to each of the two background panels.Thanks for looking!
Happy Valentine's Day Karen!! I like this one for a more masculine feel also! Your sky looks wonderful, too.
ReplyDeleteFor refilling, you need to purchase a needle and the refill ink...it is easy to inject it into the nib. The only one I have had to refill so far is the blender pen, but that's what I recall.
Good luck with the challenge!
Happy Valentines Day!
ReplyDeleteThat is very nice Karen, it does have a more masculine look. I think I just recently saw a site that sells almost all the colors of refills. You keep developing your skill with those copics, it looks great.
ReplyDeleteKaren, this is a lovely romantic card. Your coloring is spectacular. You have just the right of embellishments that do not take away from the beauty of the image...they enhance it perfectly. Very artistic presentation. Thanks so much for being an inspiration to us by gracing us each week with your spectacular creations and being part of our Midnight Madness Family.
