FUN WITH INKY IMPRESSIONS IMAGE:)

Happy Sunday to everyone!  I have done very little crafting this weekend, or blogging, or commenting because I had a busy weekend working on my craft room.  On Thursday night while the boys were at soccer, I decided to start going through and re-organizing my rubber/clear stamps.  That didn’t take super long, except then I got the wild idea to completely sort through EVERY box of embellies, papers and tools that I have for stamping.  3 and 1/2 days later and I am still not finished, although it is going to be sweet when I am done – I have gotten rid of ton of stuff that I haven’t used in forever and re-organized everything that I do have so that I can now find the perfect stamp to or a specific holiday paper I may need.  Can’t wait to actually be able to see the floor of my craft room again – hopefully tomorrow!

Anyhow, I have also been doing a lot of studying of some amazing artists and bloggers and reading tons about how they use their Copics, different techniques and combos and have been spending time practicing some of these techniques and styles.  My first creation I want to share where I have used a few different ideas I have found online is with this awesome digi image from INKY IMPRESSIONS “Fairy sitting on Clothespin.”  I have colored her with Copics and added Sakura glitter pen to her wings.  I have made more drastic differentiation in light and dark within Copic color families to show dimension and shadow.  I also really worked hard to show color and pattern differences in the leaves, clothespin and tree branches.  I added DP from Basic Grey, paper from SU and core-dinations, flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts and sentiment from My Craft Spot.  Image and backing behind it are cut with  - KINesties and sentiment cut with Amuse die.  I added stitching around the image with my Staedler pen.  (Yes, I need to get better with the faux stitching!)  I sure hope you like it.

You're so much like me when I get to organizing my craft area or anything. I just get going on one thing and then before I know it I'm into everything! LOL
