I wanted to spend a little time playing with my copics. I haven't used this magenta stamp in a while and it is one of my favorites. It has a shabby chic look to me. I stamped my B-line design polka dots on the green in white craft ink and then embossed in white for dimension.Cool tip: I took a scrap of chenille from my daughter's quilting scraps and ran it through my cuttlebug die. Worked great! This added the softness I was looking for.
A few finishing touches. The velvet ribbon. Distressed the whole thing with Tim Holtz vintage photo ink. Antique glaze on the flower. Pewter accents and I am quite pleased with the results. Love this flower!
Here is a close up of my flower. You can click on it and see it even closer....check out all my flaws. lol! I have found that I need to work quickly with the copics in order to have good blending. I usually keep the lids off so I can switch from one color to another without fiddling.

GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow girl this is incredible.
Beautiful card. This catches the shabby chic look wonderfully! What flaws on your coloring?!?! Thanks for the great tip, also!
As always, just gorgeous, Sherrie! I have to work with my markers a bit. I've only used them once, but I didn't experiment with any shading. You have MASTERED your markers!
OMG this is gorgeous! So pretty - you are really good with those copics!
OMG, this is beautiful the softness and the flowers are just breathtaking. I am still working on mastering my copics but see you have got that down pat.
Beautiful! Your cards are always a step above.
Oh my...gorgeous Sherrie! I LOVE it!! If I get some Copics, I hope I can come to you for pointers. ;)
This drop dead gorgeous! WOW! You outdid yourself on this one!
One of my favorite things to do lately is to cut out a sqare/rectangle around main image while leaving some leaves or petals or wings (?) "hanging over the edge". LOVE this--so pretty! :)
