• White Gel Pen
• Notes from Katie:
• This set is SUPER fun! At least i think it is! There are 5 images, all large enough to work with on a scrapbook layout, but still small enough to use on cards. These ornaments are my favorite!!!
• I kept my card simple ( i had a date night tonight with my hubby! woot woot! but less time to work on a card!) The great thing about this image is that since the word joy is in the ornament, i felt like it could go sentiment-less.
• I colored the image using copic markers (R22, R24, R27, R29, R59; YG63, YG67, YG11, YG91, E42, E41). The paper is from the I Believe collection from My Minds Eye.
• I used Labels 9 from spellbinders to cut out the image and then used my copic airbrush and w1 marker. A white gel pen completed the look for me.
• Be sure to check out the PMS company blog for more images from this fantabulous set.

With a Latte Thanks Card by Katie Cotton

Card by Copic Markers Teacher, Katie Cotton

Supplies Used:  

• Paper Makeup Stamps:
• Moody for Coffee Stamp
• Moody for Coffee Card Kit

The following instructions are found on Katie's blog at papermakeup.blogspot.com. 

For this card I used my favorite color combo (bet you never would have guess it! haha!)  Grey and Pink!

The stamped image is Moody for Coffee from Paper Makeup Stamps. She is one of my all time favorite moody girls! Scroll down to the post just before this one, and I showed a video tutorial on how i color the moody girls. It's in color, but I do use the Moody for Coffee image and show both the color and black and white final version. :D

The sentiment is from Caffeine Trip also from Paper Makeup Stamps.

This card was made for my Copic Coloring Class at Scrapnesia. We worked on a few different black and white images and then also made this card. I'm VERY excited, but I think my new camera is going to allow me to link up to a monitor while teaching so everyone can closely see what i'm doing! VERY excited about that! SO for those who are local - be looking for word on my next coloring class!

The paper used is in this card is from from Kaisercraft and is called Blush. Also perfect for me, right?!

Ok, thats all i have for today! Once i find my camera, i'll get some more things posted as a lot of my pictures i take with my camera phone!!!!   Have a wonderful weekend!

Wayne Fairy Card by Katie Cotton

Card by Copic Teacher, Katie Cotton

Supplies Used:  

• Paper Makeup Stamps
• Wayne Fairy Stamp
• Bazzill Cardstock: 
• Splash
• Admiral
• Pretty Little Studio ~ A Little Bird Told Me Collection:
• Nest Pattern paper

• Other:

• Instructions from Katie Cotton:
• "We used Wayne from the Beautiful Day Fairies collection from Paper Makeup Stamps. His overalls were the perfect example of both these beautiful blue colors and some neat stuff you can do with blender solution! The paper we used on the card is from Pretty Little Studio."
• "First we colored the overalls ONLY using B32, B34, B37 and B39. We were coloring on Xpress-It cardstock. Xpress-It cardstock is much thinner than Neenah and much MUCH thinner than PTI or Gina K's paper. Because it is thinner, I personally feel like it needs less ink. THe bonus is that I can color from the darkest color in (good for high contrast blending) and still have an ease in blending the colors together. Sorry, i got sidetracked! First color the overalls completely, but ONLY the overalls. Then we took some blender solution and put a bit on a pair of jeans (it doesnt damage the jeans, so any jeans will do. We used my 2 year old's because they were easy for me to take to class!). Then press the jean material over the image. Just press down 1 time and lift. Dabbing will ruin the jean pattern you are stamping onto the image. See below."
• 
  
  
  "Nifty, huh? Now you can finish coloring the image. Here we used E25 and E21. Thank goodness Copic is coming out with an E23! I do have a makeshift E23 that I let my class use if they needed help blending the 2 very different different in value colors together. :D"
