"Missing You" Study in Sepia Tone and Black Tone


Hello everyone!  I have a few days off and plan to spend some quality time in my art room today and will be enjoying tomorrow at a crafting marathon with wonderful friends!  Great Friends.  Great food.  Crafting all day.   Who could ask for more!  LOL


As you are  probably aware, I have been taking Copic Classes from Suzanne Dean at  http://scrapbitzcopics.ning.com/   I am on my first lesson for Class 4.  I needed to use the same image for both Sepia Tone  and Black Tone.   I selected one of my very favorite images from Just Inklined -  “Cocker Spanial Pup”.

I am entering this card in two challenges (I appologize that my link is not working correctly and the URL only shows rather than the name.  I am told that blogger will be fixing that!)

Ink : Memento Black

Tools: Scor-Pal or Scor-Buddy, Paper Cutter (I use Fiskars), Scissors  (Tim Holtz helps reduce pain for those with arthritis!), Quickie Glue Pen, Adhesive, Cuttlebug or die cutter,  Spellbinders Nestabilities Beaded Ovals and Cricut,

Embellishments: Cream Pearl Pen by VIVA, Storybook Cartridge for corner embellishment. You can use the flourish or corner embellishment of your choice.

Tip 1:  I had a really fabulous tip for you.....   I forgot what it was...   This ole lady can't remember squat!   Well here is another one!   If you have a Cricut or Die Cutter, you can use that for flourishes and save a bundle! 

Tip 2:  Spellbinders Nestabilities “Beaded Ovals” did not  “nest” as well as I would have liked so I cut two (different colors) and trimmed the beaded portion away, sanded my edges and used the inner oval inside my outer beaded layer.   I discovered the petite or large ovals were a different shape… therefore…. I created my own. Again…. Saving a bundle!

  8. This is tough...if I had to pick my fave...I really couldn't. I love the brown tones, but the b&w is really amazing! Good thing I don't have to...lol. Congrats on being in the 4th class now..you are a true pro!
    Question though...if I were to dive into the copics..about how much should I set back of fun money just to get a good basic set? I'm still overwhelmed with the amount of pens there are...
    Sincerely,
    Lisa aka timid hahaha
