I hope you are feeling good and getting crafty.
I've been practicing Copic coloring with some of the Power Poppy Digital Stamps.
Marcella is having an awesome sale. Just sayin'....
I had so much fun coloring this image that I dropped a marker in
a place that there was obviously not supposed to be color.
So... I fussy cut the whole thing.
another piece to put behind the cut out.
It took more effort than I'd planned, but it was worth
it in the end.
I liked it so much that I colored it again.
This time I didn't drop a marker!
It's kind of dramatic with the darker card base.
I like that I got two very different looks and used much the same colors.

They are both absolutely beautiful and I can see why you like the image so well! And after all that gorgeous coloring I would have fussy cut the image out too to save it! Love how dramatic the 2nd card looks against the darker card base too. Lovely, lovely cards Bonnie!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards! Takes spring flower theme to a wonderful level. You sure seem to have gotten the hang of the copics.
ReplyDeleteBOTH are beautiful and just yummy looking with those pretty colors! Gorgeous cards Bonnie.

Two beautiful versions of this wonderful digital image Bonnie and your fussy cutting of the first is fabulous, and then the contrast with the maroon card makes the circuar image really pop. x
ReplyDeleteTwo stunning cards, I especially like the effect of the dark colour on your second card. Your colouring is beautiful. xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous coloring and two lovely designs Bonnie.

This is one of my favorite PP digis. I like it partly because it's not too busy. Your Copic coloring looks expert to me. Practice? I should practice so well! Both cards are really gorgeous, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteboth cards are gorgeous Bonnie, I think the fussy cutting is perfect and was meant to happen. fantastic colouring :)
ReplyDeleteOh Bonnie these are stunning - loving the two totally different looks from the different mountings.
ReplyDeleteStay safe

These are both so beautiful. The fuzzy cut is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteYour practice is really paying off, Bonnie … your fussy-cutting skills got a real workout today, too! Totally worth the effort! Goodness this is gorgeous stamp! Two beautiful cards!

I nominate you as card-maker of the year! WOW, new to copics yet managing perfection in such a short time AND you fussy cut all that? It’s amazing Bonnie! Your blending is impeccable and love your shadows and highlights,. Backgrounds have always been an issue for me on images like this but you did it beautifully!
ReplyDeleteOh I’ve had many unintended ink mishaps. Fussy cutting it out to save your gorgeous coloring is perfect. Absolutely the dramatic look and how it pops against the color card base. You are rocking the Copics!.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bouquets, great colouring, two fabulous layouts, and great fussy cutting on the first one (a good save!). Usually I have a preference when there are two cards using the same image, but in this case, I love both of them equally.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image Bonnie! Love your copic colouring ... you are so skilled, my friend! It is amazing the totally different look by just changing up the colour of the card base. Great work fussy-cutting, not easy with all those thin stems! xx
ReplyDeleteWow..Two Gorgeous copics colored digi floral images, Bonnie. I love the Rich Razzleberry CS for the card base on your 2nd card. Your fuzzy cut flowers on your 1st card are so beautiful the finished card is stunning. How fun to get 2 cards made for your Copics play day. Stay safe and creative, my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! And good save! We never would've known the difference!
ReplyDeleteWell this is my cup of tea. Both are delicious. I do especially like the second. The bouquet and the coloured background are the perfect match. Beautifully CAS. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done Bonnie - those Spring flowers are literally humping off the card.
ReplyDeleteI never had much luck with Copics and would always dread trying to coloring them - you really color beautifully!

Oh! I almost forgot!! I do love the rich colors of your second card. Seems like all I ever do anymore is cook and clean up the kitchen!

gorgeous cards....I can't wait to see my tulips and spring flowers, it will brighten everything for sure. We've had dusting of snow the last few days, ugh.

Both absolutely gorgeous Bonnie. I am so glad you fussy cut the first after dropping the marker because I think it is the absolute showstopper. Love how the flowers burst out of their frame and the textured card stock is a lovely touch. Vicky x
ReplyDeleteHappy accident on the first fabulous card Bonnie and I love how you fussy cut it out and the design is wonderful x. Such a classy and elegant second card with a beautiful dark card base x.
ReplyDeleteYour Copic coloring is stunning, Bonnie! Great fussy-cutting and save for the first card. I love the dramatic feeling of the second card. The beautiful flowers really pop.
